our scene opens on rainy backroads
and black beetle-cars
do you want me?
please say yes.
—
flash-forward to paint on noses
and i'm-starting-to-regret-this
and crying over the names of god
do you want me?
'course, em.
stop worrying so much.
—
fairy lights.
bottom lip in teeth
how could i ever doubt you?
—
i always spend time
in houses that smell like cigarettes -
hey, why does your mother hate me?
don't you think everyone hates you?
—
do you want me?
do you want me?
do you want me?
—
please say yes.
—
lights up, dim
on the grocery store:
lonely girl
shopping cart
a text
it's over.
—
i thought you wanted me
i thought someone wanted me
i thought i could feel like gold forever
as long as you stayed in the dirt.
