My Cliff Notes Version of "Long Day's.."
My parents are sad. My mom is a dope fiend and is unhappy and unstable. I have consumption. Let me quote some Nietzche, or Bauldelaire. My dad keeps pouring me bourbon, whiskey, or something else. He quotes Shakespeare. My mom is a dope field. My mom says she has ugly hands. She said she could have been a nun or a concert pianist. My dad was an actor. My whole family had a bad life. I have a bad life. My brother is a drunk and visits whores. Fat ones. Mom is high on dope again. We are sad. We are sad. We are sad. |
