About this episode

"I Have Fallen" by Christopher Poindexter
 

I have fallen

in love many times.

Have you ever sat in a bar

and watched a lonely man

or woman by themselves,

their tired eyes shaken,

fixed on nothing but

the glass in front of them?

Can't you taste their sadness

from across the room?

Those people.

I fall in love

with those people.

To me there are few things

more real.
