I follow

a Tik Tok zillionaire

named H****h ***t**a

on Instagram.

She is younger

than my sister.

Last night

I watched her eat 

a patty melt

on IG live

for thirty-four minutes

at one in the morning

after calling my ex

thirty-four times

after thirteen-point-four tropical beers

that I drank in the dark

during a big summer rain.

What the fuck 

am I

doing?
