When I take some time off, I always forget how fucking hard writing is.
But it’s worth it.
This is the one song everyone would like to learn: the song that is irresistible:
the song that forces men to leap overboard in squadrons even though they see the beached skulls
the song nobody knows because anyone who has heard it is dead, and the others can’t remember.
