I don’t remember it Can’t recall if it happened The knobs turned and twisted It’s like an etch-a-sketch Seemingly unlocked But the sketch erased, as it is never solid Am ephemeral doodle here and there At some point, it surely must turn to stone An epitaph of something […]
It’s a Sunday night and I’ve been binge watching (way too much bunge watching) the television show Pretty Little Liars. It’s a ridiculous show with plotholes 10 football fields deep.
