Salt rimmed Margaritas on the rocks
Normally it’s all up to me The venue the view and the price tag Normally because I’m in control I decide where the thing will go but I never really know so, I yo yo It never occurred to me that anyone dealing with the shit that I was dishing out was a fool But…
Eudaimonia
I am a feminist spy. I am an experimental philematologist. I am a backsliding monogamist. I am a freshman seeker. I am a cannabis consumer. But if it all boiled down to who I really am and the face of my soul must be named then I am nothing more than a drunken bard… if…
