I haven't written anything in a while because my shaky muse is just a rogue gunshot from a pair of very uncertain hands and I'm trying hard to swallow the barrel but my stomach is sapped and struggles and quivers to hold anything substantial down. My body is just a side-effect of something so painfully small and I'm learning that my obsession with heart palpitations through smoke and stubbornness makes me recoil in the daylight. My eyes are growing old and decrepit when I stop seeing things as stories to unfold, and instead view them as a very dull reflections of my surroundings.

An armful of bad cliches
