Beard, glasses, good tunes
Your patience for drunk old men
Handled like a boss

Is a male barista, a baristo?
Anyways, I enjoyed the afternoon. Thanks for the beer 🙂

heart

kicked from bed again
pesticides still cloud the air
only okra heals

abandon ice cream mission
turn to meet your gaze

my heart leaps with joy
sadness now fumigated
let me steal your food

lets kill bedbugs for the rest of our days. together. and leave fake poops on the toilet seats.
