Movie night Tim (Ginsberg) pats me on the back Asking if I enjoyed Oppenheimer He knows I know Gary Oldman was good as Truman Just unsympathetic to the real narrative Remeran kicking in I know he knows Does a cigarette perk me up, he asks It's an illusion Calms you down though it's a stimulant Keeps you warm though it slows circulation

There doesn't seem to be anything here yet
