    Every time I jump the world spins once

    And I land in the same spot

  • Chat GPT Poem

    This poem is not Chat GPT
    I promise to convince you that
    and I will attempt to convey

  • why playlists are tsunamis

    five songs
    last me a month
    a single playlist
    i listen to
