Tonight
I went and laughed.
Why is it that words never find themselves on the out track of my mouth
Why is it that I keep hearing Papa Joe say, “Women are either two things, a pain in the ass or boring.”
I’m boring.
But I don’t want to be a pain in the ass/a bitch.
I don’t want to be boring.
I want to be exciting and fun,
But I’m not!
My voice is too quiet
It doesn’t fluctuate
It blends in.
And so I sit with these people and laugh,
And listen, and they like it, I think.
It’s hard to make them laugh,
It’s hard to make me laugh.
Erg.
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care.
