I don’t know / when I got so punk rock / but when I catch / myself in the mirror I / feel stronger. So when / at five in the afternoon / something on my TV says / time is not on your side / I don’t give any / shits at all. Instead I smoke / a joint like I’m / a teenager and eat a whole / box of cupcakes. – “Another Another Autumn In New York” (pgs. 8-9)
