I Am Alice
jaimelltumbleforya: I make the coffee as you sleep, your forehead pressed against the pillow, twisting arms, legs, tangled feet, so alive like orchard vines, I see you from the kitchen doorway. In these moments, the we of us  is silently whole. No laughter, parties, or concocted, clever conversations with the who’s who and the what’s of your méitre, just pause, and perception. The I...

INSTANTE

Chewing Gum
Albert: I saw that. Ugh, well this is impossible. Either I'm an artist or I'm just some cheap drag queen playing it straight so he can get laughs.
Armond: Let's just try and get through it.
Albert: Well you always ask so much of me. I have to understand every nuance of a song. I have to give a full out performance but everyone else can just get through it. I mean he's chewing gum.
Dancer: Chewing gum helps me think.
Albert: Sweetie you're wasting your gum.

Os que a alcançam, mata-os a tristeza… Agora tu entenderás por que meu coração não...
