Incomplete Ideas

Sometimes when you have become absolutely certain (or as absolute as certainty can be) that you are not alone in your life and that other people actually do exist, they sit right down and prove you wrong. Sometimes when something seemed genuine, "finally, a real moment in time," it was insignificant to the person you thought had shared it. You thought he caught your meaning, then you realized it was just the beer that made his head nod. Distant, glassy eyes are easily confused for emotion these days, and what isn't? Every interaction is a Missed Connection and every last lying, fucking, shitting human being on this planet will let you down. So what is there to do? Stop being surprised. "Shit happens," as they say, and this holds true for mis or non-interpretation as well.
