School - my class - they don't know they've grown up.
My literature teacher. That old lady. Asks me about my daughter.
And sings Nirvana's "Leave Me Alone" in the class. Everybody sings along.
It's all so real. We go smoke.
I ride back home.
Nirvana never had a "Leave Me Alone" song.
And my teacher has long been dead.

I'm at Kolyan's place. There're 3 of us. We play XBox. When a door opens and a certain lady comes in. She's not very tall. Dark hair. Parted. Kinda ordinary but subtly attractive. She sits on the bed opposite us.
And says she's my wife.
And she has a book. Like, some magic book.
And our fate that had been decided in heaven was to protect the book.
I ask myself: if it all were for real, would I go for it?
