me: being in a small town away from the city makes me go crazy (literally insane this is no exaggeration) so i need to be somewhere where there’s stuff to do
mother: ok so you’re thinking the middle of the forest
me: i need to live somewhere that has a high school offering ap and de classes so that i can maintain a gpa above a 4.0, and also a place that has nearby nursing courses so that i can take a cna class so i’ll definitely be accepted into nursing school when the time comes
mother: how about butt fuck upper michigan
me: mum
mother: what

writing about your feelings and then putting ‘idk’ at the end so you don’t sound like a faggot

Don’t tell me how to cook eggs
over easy
on a cast-iron skillet

I see you there
waiting to hit me square in my jaw with it
“Don’t flip them yet” set to fly from your lips

My grandfather made me these same eggs every morning for seven years
while Daddy decided that college
just wasn’t his thing
and Mama tried to get his teeth straight

Don’t tell me how to take my shots
and hold them
My grandfather drank himself into a rolled white van ditch deep
into night school and a GED
into jail four too many times and a plethora of DUIs

Don’t tell me about
“the only thing an eighteen-year-old boy wants”
My grandmother told my grandfather
after the hospital
that if one more pungent drop made its way to the lips she kissed
he would only find pickled perfume in her underwear drawer

They got married the day he bought a nice coffee mug

Don’t tell me about
burning my bridges behind me
without a backwards glance
There have been men who burned the whole world behind them

eyes shut

lids tight

and when they opened again, their irises were all ash

Sometimes it’s alright to turn around
walk back over the water
splash your face until you turn blue again
My grandfather was born
the year they finished the Mighty Mackinac
1959

Don’t tell me how to cook eggs
over easy
on a cast-iron skillet

Medium heat
Butter first
Pull the porcelain shell in two
Watch the sun slide down to meet the hot black dance floor

This is the only thing I ever really knew

i wasn’t meant to be loved

asirensaria asked: I miss your beautiful face

d’aw hello perfect
