Hand sanitizer isn't an option
Napkins is the password

I call my grandmother every Sunday
She reads the bible daily

Six months later sign up for the newsletters
Pay attention but give no attention to assholes

Write poems at 3am about a delicious woman you met

Inhale a gram of Trainwreck on your way to show respects

I prefer to be scared out of hiccups

I often pay respects to ancestors in the kitchen
Smother and fry the whole damn apartment
Smudge the pain away

Baldwin quotes magnified on my refrigerator keep me grounded
Palm trees for shade and décor

Purple and gold everything!
Go Lakers!
