- Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstores sell
- In twenty-seven years, a drank fifty thousand beers
- But don’t you remember that you once said that you liked happy endings?
- If I don’t die or worse, I’m gonna need a nap.
- On a thousand islands in the sea I see a thousand people just like me
- Wednesday morning, we sleep over and we’re late again

Her doorbell plays a bar of Stephen Foster, Her sister never left and look what it cost her.
…And I’ll make a career, out of writing sad songs and getting paid by the tear. As I was waiting for the Spadina streetcar today (headphones blaring, weighed down by party snacks and kodachrome) a *super* friendly girl with the … Continue reading

Thank you for the flowers and the book by Derrida

But I used to wait at a diner a million nights without her, praying she won’t cancel again tonight
