She steals candles from
the craft store.
I stole a ceramic
rooster for her and said,
“Here’s your ****
We rock the stores like
they’re our *****
It’s like an itch that
has to be scratched.
We get drunk, and
It’s game on—it’s a high like
******* in public,
like that first
shot when you’re
shaking
and sick.
Someday, it will all
come crashing down,
but until then,
it’s the flash of
lightning and the crown.
