in a hospital the painkillers help your mood
at night you feel like a five year old
i don’t want to be in love or win the national book award
i say ‘just let me live in a hospital for free with a lung problem’
you say ‘be careful what you wish for’
i say ‘um, why should i be careful what i wish for if i’ll be happy if i get what i want?’
you say ‘it’s hard to tell if you’re being sarcastic’
i say ‘a conversation like this would never happen in a hospital’
by if i get hit a little by a truck tonight i’m okay with that by Tao Lin
