you make me want to show up to the choir. pixelated eyes get lost in the illumination. a promise from a poor apothecary speaking feverishly in forgotten dialects because cunning tongues are second to none. your voice when you're telling me where you've been. what you've done. promises made between a passed flask. brief lessons on authenticity. population displacement theories. living the American nightmare. but everything resets by the semester. we are Rome just before the fall. cast worry aside for one more day. a farewell to arms race. you were ruined by your own standards.

sleeping in
you make me want to show up to the choir. pixelated eyes get lost in the illumination. a promise from a poor apothecary speaking feverishly in forgotten dialects because cunning tongues are second to none. your voice when you're telling me where you've been. what you've done. promises made between a passed flask. brief lessons on authenticity. population displacement theories. living the American nightmare. but everything resets by the semester. we are Rome just before the fall. cast worry aside for one more day. a farewell to arms race. you were ruined by your own standards.
