Yâall I want to be a cryptid/urban legend but not the kind thatâs hiding in the woods. I want to be the inexplicable feeling that someoneâs in the next aisle over in the abandoned 24 hour grocery store thatâs playing Christmas music in June, I want to be the thing that lives in the cracks between sidewalk tiles and the spaces between buildings that are too small to call an alley. I want to rot with the wood and drywall of the abandoned apartment building, to be the thing that kids talk about during sleepovers when theyâre supposed to be sleeping. To be the thing you see waiting for a bus late, late at night. You know what thatâs called??? Being a nonbinary icon
