The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What Is Known as the
Realms of the Unreal.
A lot of them take drugs because they feel broken, sad,
crippled, unfairly blue, can't sleep, weak-kneed,
circumstances unforeseen. The Vivian Girls stay
underneath. Leanne, I love your dark drawings. I nailed
them to my door. Einslyn, the exclamation mark I printed
on the floor. I'm singing now in a new band with Slick
and Stevie Door. You knew Nazis left your keys in the
canyon. You tripped, you burst, your heart's a lion. Your
rainbow is not dignified. Your birthday cake is on my
lap. We're singing songs. The journey's long. I won't be
here before much more.
