Cocaine

The bottom of her feet were always dirty. Even if she had just showered.

I never understood how that could be. She passed me the bottle of wine

and said something about how stars collide with each other on a daily

basis and change the weather that we take for granted. I kissed the top

of her head and wondered if maybe it was her shoes that were doing

that to her.

Awe. Awe. Awe. My friend, this has got to easily be one of my new favorites. From the first line -- fantastic opening -- to the last which brings all around full circle, you had me. Masterly written Dave.
ps - love the fact that there is mention of cocaine itself, just used as an object of focus and meditation to point at the scenario.

such a quality of being able to respond to complex emotional influences here...this leads to a growth of intelligence and sensibility.. I like this untouchable you speak of here, it's bizarre with unique eye for the marvels of the ordinary..

*smiles softly* you capture the small things with a deft skill.

(can you tell i'm being pulled along your narrative? and backwards, no less.. what a fun world you have here to explore)

This is an amazing stream of thought that I feel cozy and close with. You are so consistently good. I eagerly await the mornings I can enjoy your book of works over coffee.
