Blue State Page #8

So where to now?

I thought we'd live here.

I'm gonna go back.

If I don't face it all now,

I'm gonna end up living in a log cabin

in 30 years in the middle of nowhere.

That won't happen unless you let it.

Or I'll end up marrying

some crazy Canadian hockey player

just for the citizenship.

No, there's people we can talk to.

They have lawyers that deal with this.

What would your brother think? Honestly.

Because I know what the rest of the troops

in my squad are thinking right now.

My brother's dead.

You serious?

It happened about three months

after "mission accomplished" and all that.

His Chinook went down near Basra.

It was totally pointless.

And your parents? They don't know?

Denial.

I'm so sorry.

We couldn't go five minutes

without getting into an argument,

so I didn't talk to him

for about four months before it happened.

He was just doing his job.

I'm sorry I was such a jerk.

Listen,

just drop me a mile from the border

or something, and I'll walk over.

You know, the election, my stupid blog,

this whole trip,

you're the only good thing

that's happened in quite a while.

So, I can take you.

If you're with me,

you might end up getting involved.

Getting detained or something.

Just drop me off,

and then you can head on to Vancouver.

If I kiss you now, are you gonna punch me?

No.

Are you sure? 'Cause...

Yeah.

'Cause it hurt.

Hey, you gotta get up.

Hi.

We have to go.

Wait, did you kill a bear last night?

Give me your hand

The dog in the garden row is covered in mud

And dragging

your mother's clothes

I can walk from here.

I'm gonna take you.

Seriously, you don't have to.

John, stop the car.

You gonna be okay?

Sure.

When do think your trial's gonna be?

Can't say.

And what then?

If I'm lucky,

I get some kind of dishonorable discharge.

What about you and me?

Seriously?

Yeah.

"Politics makes strange bedfellows. "

I read that on thedonkeyrevolution. Com.

You read that?

You're pretty good.

More people should be reading.

Hi, there. What's your citizenship?

US.

How long have you been

outside the country?

Just a few days.

Have you been to any farms

while visiting Canada?

Does a log cabin count?

No.

- Hi.

- Hey, there.

I got something to show you.

I can't believe you're really doing this.

Well, if I don't, who will?

Missed you.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

It's all here

Today is the only day

The old times make way for the new

Some fruit punch spills on a tablecloth

But there ain't no mess to clean up

Garbage in a can sticks together

The tiniest of things are forever

Drop a couple coins and a feather

And watch them float away at the same time

Song is made with sugar and lemonade

Sing on the porch, swing along

Me and you having a barbecue

Sticking our thumbs in the air

Meeting of some notes on a pocket

Sitting in the sun with some chocolate

Drop a couple pens and some pencils

And watch it all fall right into place
