  Hold on the f*cking bridge is wobbling

• contextual · beginning

  now there's a running man!

• contextual · beginning

  What's the craic?

• contextual · beginning

  I envy that now, I'd love to be out with my legs out

• contextual · middle

  I used to love doing that.

  I got sciatic nerve pain,

  goes on to the ground, forms a sludge
