“Graduate, schmaduate.”

“You’re doing it, again.”

“Listen — ”

“Breathe.”

“I don’t want to fucking breathe, I want to take this pen and just bleed blood orange and squid ink.”

“Can you do that without going back…there?”

“I suppose. I know I can — but we lay verse where there is magic. And sometimes, magic is in the dark spaces.”

“Martyrdom theory.”

“Therapy.”
