* choosing to forget that we’ll both die one day, 

* we’re not even sure when, (it could be tomorrow,) 

* y ella continúa enviando un correo electrónico de nuestra Zoom programada

* and I send her payment through Venmo 

* sometimes even the day before the lesson 

* which I would like to think that if I died 

* before the lesson at least she gets a little 

* paper because she deserves way more 

* than I can pay for her electing to

* forget with me that we’re both going to die 

* one day.

* with bad lighting in East Dallas, 2019. I had just gotten a divorce, rented a house, and

* había mudado con mi hij@ de tres años el mes antes. En 2019, no tenía ningún idea

* that what I was writing and recording on my every-other-free-weekend was an EP that I

* would finish in my bedroom the week I’d get laid off from my dream job in Los Angeles, 2024.

* Bonus
