[aldred-reads-writes]

Me when I show my art to other people💀

[katchwreck]

“Although I seem, lord, to laugh and play at once,

I am oppressed by endless grief and burdensome affliction

by grave indisposition, and suffering—what suffering!

Hearing of suffering, do not suppose I have a rupture,

or any other of the graver, inward ills,

it's no eyesores, plain to see, nor shivering fever either,

no heartburn, nor inflammation of the lung,

no gut-rotting shit-face, no dropsy, nor bronchial ills.

No, I have a warring wife, whose tongue wags on and on,

pugnaciously parading parapets and predictions,

redundantly recounting me the rightness of her cause.”

— Theodore Prodromos
