Satire never is wasted on trivia.

If I had a nickel for every time I ran into a quote from Ovid's treatise on the benefits of experienced lovers-

It hasn't even been that long!

"Doodler, have you been listening to Gut by Baths again?"

Is it lonely? Plucking out each vertebra before you're safe to swallow?

GET MESSY, GET MEAN, GET BROKEN, FEEL THE STABBING INCESSANT PAIN OF BEING LOVED FROM THE INSIDE OUT LIKE A FISH BEING DEBONED

Trying and failing to punish themselves for their uncrushable desire for hope

and yet
maybe
just maybe
all their wreckless decisions can uncover an intimacy that is only possible in the naked honesty of filth

acting out all the things that we're told demonstrate love, affection, attraction
carefully avoiding temptation - not of the body, but of the too-tender heart which should know better by now
unable to stop digging in barren soil which will never bear fruit if only to feel the mud on their skin
