Everybody’s Science
Streetlights sit outside cornered walls. We spend a few hours inside. We meet after days and days. The casio sounds a little too loud. I drink water, you the well. My feeling is more the being here, this way when you answer for me you answer wrong. United fronts are more true and the bars…
