So, that’s it?Lyric calls after me
her voice wobbling.
You can be all prying and
in my business twenty-four seven
but when I try to
give you some feedback

I can see what you’re doing.
Can we just try

Today has been hard for me too.
Oh really? I’m so shocked.
I turn around and yell

Nobody has a harder life than you!
Lyric’s eyes turn to daggers.
What the fuck

Look—never mind. Forget I said that.
Why don’t you just focus on your shit
and I’ll focus on mine, alright?
I will not forget it,
