Franco, you are speaking to me tonight.

 
bu…nd they prefer to have desire 
come before fulfillment… 
but life isn’t bullet points 
on a page — 
you can’t plan and outline 
the hell out of this shit 
it should be enough to say 
it’s messy, a blur…
things fall apart sometimes 
and so very often 
there is no why at all… 
I am what you see, 
but I am more so 
what you don’t, …

Franco, you are speaking to me tonight. To me and for me. Just learned my closest friend's cancer has occurred - in two places. NOT good.
I love the strength of the ending as well - your manifesto. Bravo - so eloquent!
