[written 7 Nov 2017; edited 21 December 2017]
there was a boy who breathed words the way
others breathed air.
the same taking in, the same letting out,
a bit different than before.
from these words the boy learned what broke people --
he knew how to break people.
better yet, he knew how to break them
without using pain.
