Your life is pathetic and I made it that way
You should be slaughtering birds, piercing through their feather flesh with your pin-like claws You should eat their head but leave their bodies. You have the power to be wasteful. You’ll hunt other birds You should be curling up in a nook bedded with dry leaves—the driest of leaves because you like to hear them crunchContinue reading “Your life is pathetic and I made it that way”
i don’t want to let you down
My boyfriend asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital. I considered how brave I was, thinking of all the times I’ve walked home in the dark alone, how I could chance week-old yogurt without hesitation, how we had once lain carelessly in the middle of the street when we were falling inContinue reading “i don’t want to let you down”
Why I can’t write about David Bowie
I know what they say — that my generation chooses idols based on which Urban Outfitters band T-shirts are in stock. “I saw Hailey Baldwin wearing a Slayer shirt and knee high boots, so I bought a Slayer shirt and knee high boots.” And OK, there’s a little bit of truth in that.

I watched “Gilmore Girls” with my college boyfriend because he knew I liked it, but don’t tell his friends. I watched “Gilmore Girls” with myContinue reading “Fuckin Gilmore Girls, man”
Broken glass
My roommate smashed her water bottle on the road because she put it on top of her car and forgot about it. She was paranoid that the glass shards would get stuck in her tire, so I tried to get every last drop of the tiny pieces in the pockets of the asphalt. She rolledContinue reading “Broken glass”
Autumn in the city
I might need to change the title of my blog. Summer in the city: it means heat. Sticky, grimy heat. Thick air. Sweat. But air-conditioning. So much air-conditioning. Too. Much. AC. The AC in stores and corporate buildings and my office is almost too much. My legs reveal blotchy white spots and tiny goosebumps gatherContinue reading “Autumn in the city”
