Got some ink
The artist positioned me how he needed to
It reminded me of ***
Tattoos remind me of ***.

Lana del Rey hummed around us
I thought of my time in Alabama
When I was in art school
When that first album came out.

I flirt with men and I flirt with women
He asked me if I was queer at all
I said just a little bit.

I drank some wine
I try to relax, luxuriate
It’s hard I feel like I’m supposed to be everything
I wish sometimes that I could be smaller
Less noticeable
So I shed another layer of skin.

I think back to all the screenplays I’ve written
Sometimes I wish I already had a boyfriend
My skin tans in the sun
I protect my face
And hike up and around
Debating about what I’ll do tomorrow.

It’s hard to completely unplug
I miss certain things
And hope it ain’t no thing
Hope it ain’t no big thing.

It all keeps on
Me and this
And it all
Goes on

It’s been tough and I had to light some incense
I know I gotta buy some new crystals

I’m sure he will respond at some point
Ain’t no big thing
Ain’t no big thing

We friends.
