“If I wasn't writing poems, I'd be washing my hands all the time.”
“My mother is a poem I'll never be able to write, though everything I write is a poem to my mother.”
“I didn't wash today. I wasn't dirty. If I'm not dirty, I don't wash. Some weeks I don't have to shower at all. I just groom my three basic areas: teeth, hair, and asshole. And to save time, I use the same brush.”
“This wasn't the first time I'd woken up as a captive. It wasn't even the second. I so needed to reevaluate my life choices.”
“The night before, I'd gone overboard with my Lila poems, and maybe it's true that I was hoping that in them he'd see the genius of me, the beauty of my words in his hands.”
“I'de luv to kiss ya but I just washed my hair.”
