    Waking up Early to Wait in the Hold Queue for the Sexual Health Clinic (Reprise: Molluscum Contagiosum Version)

    After Billy Joel, ‘Just The Way You Are’; The Carpenters, ‘(They Long to Be) Close to You’; and The Monkees, ‘Daydream Believer’

    “…I just want someone, that I can talk to…”
    Too right!
    “…I want you just the way you are…”
    Well, looking at… this, I’d beg to differ.

    “…they long to be, close to you…”
    Yeah that’s sort of the problem.

    “…cheer up, sleepy…”
    O fuck off [hangs up]

    The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
