Yesterday I was like “ah, damn, I am one of those fiction prose writers who’s never really done poetry and when I did it was horrible!”

But then I remembered I’ve written hundreds of songs in my life which are, like, pretty similar?
They were good, too. Lyrics-wise anyway.

I love these little fiction experiments that can happen on Substack. Listen to a song for thirty minutes then post what tumbles out of you, raw and bloody as a newborn. A wonderful result of such an experiment from Vinny Reads — my fellow child of suburban ennui!

Her panties dangling off the side of my Chuck Taylors. An image I’m already saving for the deathbed slideshow. Young romance, rose-tinted and dewy without the fear of authority or morning-after pills.
