-a
-big
-back
-yard
-where
-people
-drank
-and
-talked
-and
-sat
-in
-the
-darkness
-somewhere
-someone
-was
-smoking
-weed
-with
-a
-visiting
-writer
-earlier
-that

-something
-about
-the
-peach
-pit
-being
-the
-one
-place
-georgia
-held
-sacred
-he
-said
-it
-was
-the
-place
-where
-all
-new
-things
-grow
-i
-can
-see
-how
-anger
-could
-be
-like
-a
-peach
-its
-juice
-runs
-out
-of
-the
-mouth
-and
-down
-the
-chin
-dropping
-onto
-the
-pants
-and
-staining
-them
-in
-the
-same
-way
-i
-can
-see
-how

-is
-like
-sex
-they
-are
-both
-heightened
-states
-of
-emotional
-observation
-in
-atlanta
-there

-i
-could
-see
-they
-would
-have
-to
-do
-some
-contorting
-to
-get
-to
-the
-same
-point
-i
-like
-to
-think
