most normal nights it's about something stupid or other, like my mother's tendency to cry when I visit her like my inability to find something I could stick with for all of adulthood other than writing terrible anecdotes on existentialism like the look of abject disappointment on my father's face when he found out I was getting dropped from school again like the whole of 2015, where I spent all year convalescing behind a bar counter, convinced I could save peanuts for a degree like when I watch motes of dust wrestle in dim light and tell myself it's just a phase it's just a phase
