goonish mannerisms. 

“I understand why you tell people you don’t do anything.”



the way goons enter the room. the yo-yo’s-what’s ups-what’s goods-how you doings how you livin’s-sup’s-hey-man’s-hi’s or they go: say hey bitch-giiiirrrl-what you doing-how was that-she tell me everything- i was going to say hello. I love the way goons say: I miss you and hello and I’m sorry for not texting back earlier.


Good things happen to other people
and have you ever written a line
you know you’re were gonna cut?



How the goons speak.
in handshakes and grip and daps and embraces
and sometimes we can just laugh and giggle and whisper.

the way a goon says goodnight: sometimes lingering
past the point you need, or sometimes pushing you away just
as you begin to feel
warm.
