    About this ebook

    Hello, my name is Bryan Price. I go by Bob the Butcher of Bliss. This is a book recounting the many different manifestations of the proverbial "you" on the road towards true love. Whatever that may be. I began this book four years ago when I was in love with a girl I could not have. This is an attempt at reconciling that pain as I recount, in 70 different stories/poems, the utter triumph or failure of those gifts of mist -- those endeavors into romance -- those near misses and cataclysms of great substance and crumbs. Maybe, you'll recognize someone important to you here. Maybe, you'll recognize your story within my trials and tribulations. Hopefully, as you trudge forward, this will serve as a source of fuel for you . . . as you make your way to what's important . . . to that final manifestation of "you". This is chapter one of those crimes.

      My year off was also interesting, in that I didn’t feel any less loved, or cherished, or wanted. Why? Because my life is already rich with soulmates, and I got the chance to behold that. You don’t have to shag someone for them to be a soulmate. We do

      In class, I stared because of the blood going blue.The chalk that coated our fingerly teeth.The way we lapped each other (on the shorewhere the flowering). I gave away our location. Smacked my lips in the coat closet.Sucked at her teeth. We, on all e
