Call out one of my characters with a starter, or a prompt, or a 'look idk how but I want these two to bang' and we will Do A Thread.

[For the Tainted Sorrow is towards the middle of the book, FYI.]

Someone would have brought him up at some point. Normally I'd figure you'd hear 'oh, like the poet?' so many times that it started to drive you crazy by middle school.

[That's the reasonable expectation.]

[he's probably just skimming through-- but he'll definitely have stopped at that page.]

I mean, I never exactly went to middle school, but-- he'd have come up somehow.

[it's all really weird, especially the title he keeps glancing back at.]

...so, what, do you just carry around books by the guy you're named after?

[goatsongs]

Never hurts to have reading material on you.

[While this is true, it has absolutely nothing to do with why he has his own book with him.]

[doublesmall]

Still a weird choice, if you ask me...

[he reads over the poem's title again, brow furrowing a little deeper, before he closes the book and hands it back with a shake of his head.]

But fine, read whatever you want. I'm too sober for this kind of conversation.

[guess what time it is: time to fix that.]

You know, I had been meaning to check out the bar a couple shops down.

[so let's get smashed.]
