“Gypsy
On Wednesday morning, clear and calm, I went to Astor Place.
And had a Gypsy read my palm or maybe just my face.
She said my heart was heavy and my head was stuffed with lies.
But things like that weren't on my hands, they hid behind my eyes.
The room is dull and dank and cold but at least I have a hand to hold.”
― Egghead; or, You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone

after tumbling in her head all day,
came out shrunken
like they were meant for a child.”
