i know what peeves off the americans, you can't say Dallas, Los Angeles and New York with the same geographic exotica fetish as you might say London, Paris, Rome... it's not early enough for a language barrier, but a barrier of imagining it as different with the former.

i bought portishead's
debut *dummy in
barcelona, on a spare
weekend from
edinburgh,
when i ate chicken
drank cheap wine
with coca cola,
smoked a joint
and fell asleep, but
was expecting to go
clubbing...
being drugged up by
two girls never felt so good.
