Free Fallen

"No I never do dinner with friends, and certainly not with alcohol", the undercurrents evident, she'd had dinner and alcohol with him...........and then it had followed, and not just once, but not today, she thought he was being quite the pain, she didn't feel his pain, he of the lofty brow and a "warrior's intellect" he not-so-modestly thought his own, had fallen, fallen too hard and she couldn't see it........or better (or worse) yet, wouldn't see it, she wouldn't care, elemental poetic justice, thought he, she didnt care............a long term proposition he was thinking of contemplating, and he wanted for them to be............making a new life, but she didn't care, conversation ran askew, but he couldnt raise his voice, nor would let his friends think any ill of her, he was fallen, wasn't he? and fallen he would stay for as long as he could see......they say it hurts the knees, but fallen was he and fallen was he to be!
