SO OFF 10 is the answer......

How often does the hatred of something seep in the pours of your being? Does it consume you when you have to swallow a visceral reaction because of social mores?

How often do you wear your socks and/or your underwear for more than one day? How often do you eschew pertinent bills because you need money for the weekend?

How often? How often do you write?

How often do entire summers pass by like DVRed commercials? How often do you realize you left the collective months of June, July and August in the NW gut?

I fail at life more often than wireless internet connections and when you left me in July... I learned not to finish sentences.

How often are you lucky to be alive? How often are you hungover at work? How often do you think that best has past you by? How often are you a jerk?

How often in cocaine important? How often do you do it? How often is sobriety a chore? How often do you choose it?

Debit cards for bar tabs? Singles for a juke box? September around the corner? October brings the Fall? Standing on the precipice a pitcher for last call?

How often should you call her and hang up on the last ring? One more shot for winter?

End of Summer?

THINK OF SPRING.
