I want it to always be this good

 I’m drawing a map to

    stay      say       s l o w e r  now

you’ve had more practice      

 reclaim stories from 

another day      breathe

     I’m listening &

   can’t   imagine but

               yes&no&yes

your realsouthernmanners

  oh honestly now

I know the secret

let’s break some windows

I’d better not

       how does this work?

how   does  this   even   work  ?

[breathless]

 it’s been awhile 

I’m listening

       shhh   breathe

I nap with abandon   I’m

abrokenoffpage &

new here but

           I’m listening .

you’ve had more practice

boozy redcarpetwetdream

     I’m new here

how  does  this  work ?

laugh it off already

I take my time

break it off already

[breathless]

              how  

 does  this  even  work ?
