High time we made a stand

Dum dum duh-daaaah! It's Tolstoy Tuesday again. I tried tickling the run-on sentence this time. I'm not really a poet, but I so enjoy the simple form. You're up, Turner.

"Prognosis"

Perhaps the severity of my condition
is directly proportional to
the way you always walk a ways ahead
and how it feels when I’m left
to take down your messages
and blunder through your other life
alone in my car
like someone’s old girlfriend.

I love this line. It's like a swingset for the toungue.

I prefer "and blunder through your other life alone in my car."

You guys are awesome. I wish you were always around to stroke my Eggo.

And, well, because I love you.
