when the one who feeds you is singing rent in the next room and the one who pays for you is sitting on public transportation and the one who loves you is millions of miles away where do you turn? impossible crushes, washing machine scars, my mother cannot sing soprano.
i'm just a blur of obscure cultural references that don't exsist. watch me try and stumble. that is what's good in this world. oh the pain of becoming a woman, i am wrapped in that pain. like a big GROW UP blanket. i sent a message to dugan today. i wonder if julia gave it to him. i hope so.
