rigid, she be.

I like letting the music drown out the monster's voice

drown out the mindless chitchat

Coke machine Glow, let me through English

Kept scribbling down numbers and words meeting the demands of my favoured ones

for once, I look up. The monster has written "the brick wall"

"relies on conformity, the parenting style"

"submissive", reaction to "rigid" parenting

(bullshit), you can't teach me how to raise a child

without raising a slave,

a monster

"Time will pass, will you?"

'have you ever tried to quit smoking?'

'for a week or so, just to blow down'

we bond over pencil scratchings, and etchings

unexpected, in this mindless game (theater mode)

thankful for it though, it was more real than

'The last Duchess'
