excerpts from Whatever from @emoemoji

Dan Boehl

something
bad
happened
downtown
in my
nation
another
thing
got
ruined










imagine
yer
worst
scenario
now
imagine
this
guys
worst
senario















better
leave
now
while
everything
still
okay
tell
mum
its
fine
gather
all
media
and
hardgear
cool
costume
bike
diary
pocket
change
tuna


chocolates
mad
important
the
ends
got
quote
the
end
unquote
on
its
side
and
thats
star
power
can
you
handle
one
moment
of
absolute
percocet



dear
facebook
imma
gonna
turn
my
mirth
into
cold
blue
steel
stab
yer
sad
heart
with
my
happy
rub
it in
just
kidding
schadenfreude
be
bougie







please
help
me
accomplish
my
dream of
becoming
super
rich
without
having
to
compromise
my sense
of
entitlement

you
get
to
that
point
where
you
enjoy
the
meat
of
the
city















this
meat
tastes
like
dreams





















remember
the
black
spots
are
places
burning
so
hot
that
not
even
light
escapes
