The Month of May: Update On Life, Or Lack Thereof

‘why do you want to piss on life before you’ve even lived it?’
  1. I’m so dry.
  2. Picture me: a wounded big, black, wild boar lying on a wooden floor, bleeding, grunting in pain, legs kicking in sorry spasms. It feels like I have been shot, somewhere, by someone. I did not see the shooter, and neither did I notice the arrow hitting my body. All I know is that the fire that sits in my belly is gone. It feels like waking up to a strange papercut, and any of the millions of papers across the world could be the culprit.
  3. This is an expression of regret. Perhaps if I journaled more consistently, more clearly, I might have caught the moment my flesh began to reek. Now I am buried, time of death unknown.
  4. I have an unfinished story in my drafts. It’s about me, lying on my back pantie-less, my dress pulled up to my nipples, and four men standing around me with scary thingies in their hands. The story is just lying there, half done, stale, sad, sorry.
  5. From the bottom of this shelf, I shall debase myself. There’s soon going to be a drunken poem about a man, for a man (he insists that I call him boy, not). Oh what have I become!
  6. Childish Gambino has new music out so perhaps I shall survive the Apocalypse (Cigarettes After Sex, anyone?)
  7. Oh, you don’t know about Childish Gambino, or Cigarettes After Sex? You uncultured swine? Ha.
  8. There’s a movie called The Book of Clarence where Jesus is just some stoned guy selling weed around the village. If you think about it hard enough, you might never stop laughing.
  9. Send me love letters here: uh.thatscute@gmail.com. Talk about anything. Your favorite pair of shoes, your favorite song, a film you think I should see, why you hate yourself, etc. End the letter with 5 totally random questions and I shall answer one of them in my next writings. I don’t even have to know your name.
  10. The Mercury-in-retrograde girlies, can I have a word?
  11. I probably just need to get laid.
  12. As a reminder, always err on the side of love (for the people you care about, ie). Maybe your unreturned texts are because the recipient (Schrödinger’s cat -wise), has been on the floor, convulsing, dying.
  13. See you soon, comprehensively.
