Heather OC: Week 45 of 208

Jan 31
1 min read

Dry January

For Catherine O’Hara


It is better to leave

Early, your audience still wanting

more of you - soft touch,

bad joke, homemade family recipe

enchiladas. Why would one


stick around for a bit - after

the show, post curtain call, and

politely clapping for the tech crew?


There won’t be as many memes then. Shuffling

off modestly or slipping away

under high thread-count, quiet sheets. Heart

declaring it has been boring here


without beer or sex

or all the reasons I

hung around beating in this


cage. Rage, do not let

Her go. Then you are really

in for it. Explode. Fight. Resist.
