So
today
I met a
man who looked me
in the eye and told
me how he lived and how
he was going to die; of
the changes he was making; of
the straws that he was clutching and how
they wouldn't save him but would make
his free-falling life a little
longer. Today I met
a man whom I knew
was a little
braver than
I could
be.
