a motorcycle screaming in your ear and that one guy who never had children telling you how to raise your child
the woman who never believed we landed on the moon and who supported Bernie Sanders
and the wild-haired teenager eating out his phone; sometimes the planet is a planet other times it isn’t even a backwards Eden
growing thin multitudes resigned before resigning dogs fetching brides and brides fetching dogs
someone or other
trains
