Training Throttle

Finish your cereal, kids. Mom and I are off to the bank, and we wish it that you come along because then you'll see why we're taking our money back.

Hello, this is truth, knocking on your door again. I know we're neighbors and all, so I was hoping I could borrow some attention. I really need it for this new recipe. I've been working on a dish by the name of "Hello, are you still there?". I think I'm gonna need some feedback on it, I'll send you some later.

The cracks on the sidewalk sometimes speak to me, and they tell me I'm going to have a rather horrendous life. I would laugh at them, but then I might trip. They really hate it when I talk badly about them, so it would be ridiculous of me to do so, so I think I'll just sew my dry lips together, I don't have much of an opinion anyways, considering I'm just the creak in the stairs, and the rust on the tire of your bike that won't stop spinning.

I forgot my arrogance, or rather my blissful ignorance, in my wallet, and its almost as if you expect me to be a terrible person, based merely on appearance. In that case, let me buy you a steaming cup of coffee and a plate of salad, so maybe somewhere in there, you can tell me where you derived this idea from. So tell me, do all humans think like this?

His small shoulders could no longer support the weight of such heavy tears. He missed him. "Dad, when are you gonna come pick us up?"
I wondered of this for such a long time. What is he doing? Where is he? Who is he with? Is he thinking of me? Does he know who I am, or cares? These questions, I now dutifully know the answers to.

I've wronged you, and I don't think you can ever forgive me, I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry. I
miss all our little games, analogies, and metaphorical concepts you and I could only dream of, like little kids
telling ghost stories under the blankets in a tree-house too high for the worms to reach. I hope we can still be
friends, and I thoroughly enjoy your advice. And just remember, that I changed so much for you. I did this
because I adore you, and admire you. You're a great friend and I'm glad to have met you. The sneakers say
hello, so lets untie these knots, slip out, and walk again.
