i know a kid too who i too wear a hood. i take it off in the library. they have signs. no guns. no hoods. HOOdie. the rules of this place. what a place to go by instinct. what a place to go by signs. who follows signs. i bet more go by portents.
i gave lily a skull today. her acceptance was my gift. it's a possum she said. i would be honored. most activity goes on between the signs not acknowledged.
listen, i don't mean to disparage anyone. by disparaging myself. it's when you're called names and you call yourself those names like it ain't nothing i do it myself taking their power. when it's really a struggle whether in your diary or on your street. it's your town. you can modify the signs with sanctuary. you can open your hood in love.
