when you were younger you were a smart kid which meant you were smart about everything - everything. so you took say ap chem just cause all your other geek ass friends were doing it even though you barely studied and spent the whole class playing a game in which you see how many words you can make out of a given long word. you played that game with ivan chee and he always won even though now...
on cleaning
cleaning brings on disorder and decision-making.

I WRITE THE DAY, or
THE BOOK OF YOU.

honesty is cool candour is cool abjection is uncool now i think feeling loserly is uncool now i think feminine arrogance is cool gender confusion remains cool black people and black people’s ideas and black people’s creations are always cool except of course if you are one queer was cool but i think gay now good old gay has become cooler that and straight women can be cool if their proportion...
i kind of care that i repeat myself but
mostly i dont care (grace grace grace grace grace grace grace). in the medicine card deck i consulted for five years and threw out this past august because it became an instrument of self-deceit, the swan card
