Oh my gorgeous gremlin chipmunk baby I
Love you I Love you I Love you and I
Need you inside of me ew gross not like that
Well maybe also like that haha ok but I
Mean I bought this dubious-looking shrink ray on
Etsy seller name “OneBrainCell” and I
Need to shrink you down Magic School Bus-style so you can
Fit inside my brain so I made this paper mâché dinghy from
Misprinted newspaper obituary clippings and
Ooey gooey Elmer’s glue ok
Zap! and now you’re little lemme
Place you in your little boat and
You’re gonna need an oar so here’s a
Tiny quill pen and ok imma
Snort you like a drug and with my
Lucky dice we should land your paper mâché dinghy safely
Inside the wrinkled canals of my brain the
Rivers of my cerebrospinal fluid ok 1 2 snort and
Here we are it’s my brain
It’s dark in here so watch out for the lime bats and
Watch out for the knife owls and
Keep rowing always keep rowing you wanna
Row in a pattern that spells “I’m here for you” and
Everything should be ok alright ok first
Obstacle is a massive fucking iceberg called
The Absence of My Father and you are gonna need to just
Avoid that steer clear row in a pattern that spells
“Oh fuck no” and everything should be ok alright ok and
Next up is the Presence of My Father and this one’s
Very small very sparse very manageable you can just
Sail right over that like a speed bump it will try to
Talk to you about Eric Clapton and the Buffalo Bills but
It’s not a big deal just ignore it ok good now
Here’s where things get tricky this is a lot of
Small stuff but there are so many
Off-handed remarks and acts of pity and
Tiny betrayals that have
Coagulated in here so your boat is gonna
Take some damage but just row in a pattern that spells
“You’re overthinking it” and everything should be ok alright
Ok we’re here!
This is the innermost part of my mind
Look over there, it’s [REDACTED]!
And over there, it’s [REDACTED]!
What an interesting place and
I’m so happy you could come and
Over there is my love for you and it is the
Scariest part of all and I’m gonna hug and squeeze you until
All your toothpaste spills out
