"you keep your voice high so she cannot guess the name on the card in your pocket the one that got you in this place your sacred pact with the butch working their pursed lips their squinted eyes, they were holding back a sigh you try to focus on her eyes and every word but you worry she's too wonderful you worry you'll be caught by more than her charm as you slug another drink you wanta wake up someplace without shame so fucked up that you can't guess your name identity is gonna let you down why try to swim when you know you're gonna drown so you keep your voice high when others are around"

"ready or not like it or not we're dying tongue in our cheeks stench in our breath we're trying any method to numb it all down i'm sorry it's a rough hand results are canned annoying when you're born all weird and frayed options slim so don't delay fuck the pain away we stayed up nights keeping cocaine in business graveyard day trips slept like the dead with strangers i didn't know myself back then so i kept switching it up swapping my spit like majors but never quite loved anyone like the year that you shaved off your head i was so confused a hiding dyke in men's elevens maybe tonight i'll call you up to tell you life is a joke but i think i wrote one better when i picked my pen up years ago this was not the kind of life i meant to write but i cannot imagine myself sitting anywhere that isn't right here by your side ingrid where were you when we were getting high just kidding you were right there every time"

"must feel like a spiral to be so fucking entitled that you cannot tell the difference between a pathway and a walk hey i don't mean to trifle can be easy to get mired by all that muddy bullshit when it's all you've ever known if you're in denial take advice from this pariah i've stepped my share of steps down these alleys that you walk but if you are not able or willing to be grateful for all you have and give a bit i guess i can't be fucked wish that you would take a moment to yourself to unwind all that cord when you get a grip on how you harvest from these seeds you did not sew i hope you'll let me know"
