Me, at night , crouching in the dark, clutching my silly stories like a priest clutches his bible: I am a genius I am a god of words I am Shakespeare come again I am Edgar Allan Poe’s son and I am Emily Dickinson’s daughter I come from the stars with my bright and glorious wisdom, my humor has been sharpened like a blade, and the pen becomes my heart let the ink be my blood and I shall cut myself open to stain these pages with that which comes from within
Me, in the morning: why did I spell chess as cheese

You pat your characters on the head and tell them good job.
I spray mine with a water bottle and yell at them to stop pissing on my carpet.
We are not the same.

Cigarettes
The urge itches in the back of my throat
My lungs already miss the burn of it
The smell still lingers in my coat
I am too weak to ever quit
So I go out, early in the morning, late at night
Put my money, my time, myself to waste
I must make make a desperate sight
Dying slowly for one last taste
But what can I say, my dear?
From all, I chose this very vice
It is my end, isn’t that clear? 
And I’ve gone and paid that price
I’ve smoked through a pack of cigarettes or two
But we both know I’ve already ruined myself with you

"I was born in the desert, in the burning heat, in the never ending draught.
She was born in the sea, in the deepest waves, in the howling winds.
I am the quicksand she sink into when the sun rises in the west.
And she is the ocean I drown myself in when the sun sets in the east."
From "Scorpions and Sparrows"

No, I don't have a plot for my book.
I have a vibe and these three ocs I found in a dumpster.

Can we make stupid academia a thing? I want to read Shakespeare and Kafka because of the aesthetic, because they itch my brain just right but I also want to have zero thoughts about.
