toothpick
raze no one ever tells you what the proper etiquette is for drinking with one of these in your mouth. do you let the toothpick dangle from your lower lip, pushed to the side, and then take a sip with it safely, momentarily out of the way? or do you slip it straight into your drink and go all-in, consequences be damned? and does the toothpick then become a status symbol, its relative dryness after drinking an indication of the superior or inferior nature of the handler of said toothpick? is there a toothpick drinking competition being held in a dimly lit storage closet somewhere at this very second?

i will not rest until these questions have satisfactory answers.

raze i used to try and hold them like they were cigarettes. i wanted to look like i was smoking. i thought: let me be a mystery to someone far enough away to want to guess at what i'm doing. let me be an interesting blur. let me be anything they want me to be. let them make_me_a_poem, a puzzle, a possibility. 210903
