I choked and fell off
Trees make sure I fall off them
Rotten apple, me

I choked and fell off
Trees make sure I fall off them
Rotten apple, me

Oh fuck. I thought the middle line hit me, but the last one knocked me out flat
Oh my gawddddd, that last line. Sometimes I do feel like the rotten apple too! Loved your poem. I've watched both X and Pearl. Have you watched MaXXXine yet?
Brilliantly done your job.
