backlashWhat a great word - total onomatopoeia - you can almost hear the crack - actually I did hear it. It sounds like a door slamming in your face - or more like a wall.

Melancholy does not suit me - so I reject it as my mood of choice. I've made my bed (so to speak - because who the hell else is going to?) and there I must lie - but I don't have to be miserable in it. I refuse to be miserable - he does that well enough for both of us.
