work crush called me sweet today. and kinda held my hand. and linked arms with me when we were looking over the register. and stole my nametag to do an impression of me. and we were spraying water at each other briefly. and he held my hand but to look at a cut i had on it. and uhhhh. he stands really close to me and apparently looks at me when i’m not looking at him.

We are vehemently against Big Things and them happening “Soon”. Folks, we are down right anti-big things. From now, until the end of time Leather Phase promises only the smallest and inconsequential of things and rest assured they will happen, a looonnnngggg way from now or not at all.

Mamie
MAMIE beat her head against the bars of a little Indiana town and dreamed of romance and big things off somewhere the way the railroad trains all ran.
She could see the smoke of the engines get lost down where the streaks of steel flashed in the sun and when the newspapers came in on the morning mail she knew there was a big Chicago far off, where all the trains ran.
She got tired of the barber shop boys and the post office chatter and the church gossip and the old pieces the band played on the Fourth of July and Decoration Day
And sobbed at her fate and beat her head against the bars and was going to kill herself
When the thought came to her that if she was going to die she might as well die struggling for a clutch of romance among the streets of Chicago.
She has a job now at six dollars a week in the basement of the Boston Store
And even now she beats her head against the bars in the same old way and wonders if there is a bigger place the railroads run to from Chicago where maybe there is
romance
and big things
and real dreams
that never go smash.
