fear is the cheapest room / in a house, that we ought / to live in better / conditions. I would / happily trade all my / knowing for plusher / carpet, higher ceilings.]
some of you never had an intense homoerotic years-long friendship in your early to mid teens that culminated in a dramatic friend breakup and it shows.
