from one of my favorite writers, ilani umel

do you hear that?
petty petty whispers from petty petty mouths
about petty/pretty people
and their pretty petty lives

sunk in teeth and blood in their eyes
and i write
"it's not a matter of when you grow up
but if you grow up."

and until you do,
let's
get caught up -
get caught by
this whirlwind of words

your hands are as bad the mouth that made these gilded coins you swim in, these gilded coins you trade, laced with poison and dipped in wine and now, it's time. you talk shit and about shit, around shit and to make shit. oh, little do you know, little do you know that at that moment, you're just a piece of shit.

you're so loud the roaches can hear,
shut the fuck up.

i "keep it on the downlow" but you, you listen to your own advice. everything is a headline and bolded in gray. now i can see why tv dramas reign. i mean, you are what you've been for the past 10 years. you're only as good as the secrets you know.

VICARIOUS LIVING: starts in high school and continues to college, onto the tv and for the rest of your life.
