Stay Out


  • You are so important to me
  • you need to stay out of my journal that does not get written in as much as it should
  • out of the scripts that I pick at but don’t sculpt real shapes out of
  • out of the bullet points on a blog that doesn’t get updated often enough and gets linked to on facebook.
  • Stay out of my emails and text messages
  • Stay out of my prescriptions and out of the notes on my psychiatrist’s pad of paper
  • out of my theatre history essays
  • out of the words written on my coffee cup
  • Don’t become just another set of words that I scribble about then forget.
  • You are more than that
  • Stay real.
