Here we believe that coffee is a deity, that there is a reference from FRIENDS suitable for every situation in life, and that sometimes, poetry is the smell of a new born baby’s head.

‘If I Got Paid For All Of My Emotional Labor’
“I’d hire an unassuming relatively attractive
white male to follow me around, so when
you don’t believe me he can repeat
what I said, so like, you do believe me!”

‘Diluted’
“I diluted myself because
people here do not like
Portuguese liquor neat.
My whole life has been on the rocks.”

‘The Loneliest Sweet Potato’
“What sad people do when they are lonely
looks a lot like me at the grocery store.
In my lonely at the grocery store
I feel sad, but I look just like everybody
else, while picking out avocados
and lemons. Items nobody refers to
as comfort food.”
