Good Bones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is short, though I keep this from my children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is short, and I\u2019ve shortened mine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll keep from my children. The world is at least<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fifty percent terrible, and that\u2019s a conservative<\/p>\n\n\n\n

estimate, though I keep this from my children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is at least half terrible, and for every kind<\/p>\n\n\n\n

stranger, there is one who would break you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

though I keep this from my children. I am trying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

walking you through a real shithole, chirps on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

about good bones: This place could be beautiful,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

right? You could make this place beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
