Laura Brun

JUST LIKE SORRY

i think vocal-

fried valley

girl day dreams,

like, constantly.

split ended state-

ments turned quest-

ions, turned and

bent over. maybe

just bleached

brains? sorry

to bother but

bottle-bimbo

bragging, low-

talking uptalk

in the background,

the high notes

lost like first;

sorry you can’t

hear me over

my makeup?

after i old-

hag, is there

any way to,

like, dye that

you approve of?
