Silverscreen
Two-faced Johnny, hotel lobby
I won't go up without you
Plated boots, lipstick rouge
Jack on the edge of champagne fruits
Misdemeanor, gossip cleaner
Overacting table reader
Ego driver, loose-lip liar
Driving my head ill [••••]
Surface tension, I won't mention
Liar, liar, liar, ha
Dancing finger, constant linger
Driving my head ill
Coup de grace
Running the circles through, right back to you
Finding at the finish line, nothing new
The let-down that sticks like glue
Slipping through my fingers gripping onto what is left of you
Waiting for lessons learned, taking turns
The loudest of them all, left to be unheard
My story lacks in the facts
That it's so absurd
So come on, coupe de grace
Shavambacu
Ghost eyes sleep beside my baby doll
All night when I'm in bed with you
Sunrise never sets on baby doll
Her ghost tears, some call it rain
Well I'm crying for just one name
I can't stand to see another day
I'm not in L.A. to have my way with you
My little darling shavambacu, oh honey I love you
Killing the joke
Interstellar, dressed in leather, drinking bitter boy
You know the plan but you never knew the ploy
But I, I live a lonely life
Since you been gone I left the TV on
Let the milk go sour, let the bills pile up
But I, I know I'm a funny guy
[interview with Coup de Main, 25 Sept. 2018]

August: Day 27
Adventures
Went to a parade
Watched a butterfly land unexpectedly on my leg
Went to a church bazaar at my sister's parish
Ate a handmade doughnut fresh from the fryer
Got three books at the book sale
After-dark drive down a country road
Writing
Vague daydreaming about possibilities for original stories

Tbh this post and the tag comments keeps making me think because; it truly seems like some fellas don't know how to control their own knee jerk reactions to weird people
And its like- I can be an asshole. I get Asshole thoughts all the time. I see an stranger being a bit weird or awkward in a way i dont like and monke brain goes "lmao we should maul this guy". But what is what one must do? Not just follow the natural instinct, but instead pause and reflect "oh but is this fella doing anything harmful? Are they insulting me or messing with me? Am i strongly disagreeing with an opinion of theirs? Or are they just being themselves and having fun in a way i don't vibe with?" Dont just act based on feelings but instead reflect on them and then figure out a way to react accordingly.
If a person is just living their life then the best thing to do is not to antagonize them but rather just let them do whatever, or communicate directly what the issue is and see how both of you can find a way to solve it and coexist peacefully, all while venting the frustration through a diff outlet that won't harm the other.
And like i know its not that simple- a lot of this branch of thought comes from me having nasty social anxiety, and also the fact that i do can slip and be, well, an asshole. I am absolutely no saint. But the point is that your discomfort with another person isn't a permision into attacking them and there are better solutions than that

Okay, but people going on trips or talking about doing anything that means they may suddenly not be able to contact me for prolonged periods of time triggers my abandonment issues so much. Like, no, you can not go to college, you can not get a job, you can not leave the house and do volunteer work because what if you meet someone else, think they're better, and never talk to me again? What if you forget I exist?
