and you know shit gets real when the introvert goes quite still

 past the point

of hysterical interlude

she

looksabout

at the world gone wrong

on silver tongues 

in the mouth of madness

decay

rot

strangely unstressed

"And the colored girls go
Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do, do..." ~ Lou Reed, Walk on the Wild Side
