RECESS
jacob and emily sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
first came love
then came marriage
then came a stale & empty life
as a result of the societal pressures
to wed which led
to a semi-public affair and a severe
case of alcoholism
mixed with mental illness
followed by a grueling 2-year divorce
that damaged the kids emotionally
and left everyone without
a sense of direction or self worth
