as the world turned out

Dear build up of electrons:

Please know it is never my intention to take you away from the protons you find yourselves naturally attracted to. Maybe, it's not that. Maybe you see my getting up as a chance to make a break for it - you just 'happen' to rub off the chair and hop aboard the S.S Jesse V. - the preferred cruise line for single electrons. I don't know what time is like for an atom (or subatomic particle in your case) but I'd imagine that in the brief moment before I inevitably touch something made of metal you have experienced a lifetime of longing for the protons you abandoned. I am, as always, touched by your dramatic reunion when you leave the singles cruise and go back to the life you once knew. However, I am concerned about the frequency of this pattern. No one likes mind games electrons, and you may want to seriously consider whether you want to be in a relationship or on your own. I only write this because I care and want the best for you.

With compassion,
Jesse V.
