Maybe I even felt a type of comfortable warmth knowing that the hiss of the television sent waves of orgasmic elation through my companion's body. No matter how hideous the idea seemed, its legitimacy still rang heavy in my ears. I couldn't help but feel connected to the brat. It crept up on me, blindsided me almost, this feeling of unique collaboration and possibly, just possibly, brotherhood.

From curled limbo.

The morning's move across the floor,
While hers drifts and mine digests
And all is a syrup bloodstream,
An almost visible tributary
Into a saccharine gulf of day.
