final drinks at bars where the patrons get a little sentimental with their jukebox money around closing time

My life gets weirder and less relatable the older that I get,
so I try to write in a way that’s relatable to anyone with any problem.

Since getting sober, I have made an effort to accept the circumstances of my life for what they are,
and to remain engaged with and curious about them,
even if they don’t conform to stereotypes about how writers are supposed to live.

I write puns for ecommerce products for a living,
and then pretend poems for myself,
also asking famous and emerging musicians super silly questions.

All while trying to squash the idea that you have to be completely chaotic
and tortured to make interesting art.
