Yes I'm very aware that almost like with everything everywhere all the time it's money and class but cut me a break, I grew up eating hot dogs on toast

The only baptism worthwhile in this world, is being held by you under the water. Under your unceasing eyes and your crushing depth.
I could drown in you beloved
But I think that a not unkind way to die
All I feel in my lungs as they fill, is you

It aches to be beheld by you. It seizes my mind to not be holding you.
The glass of class and gleam and pretense is shattered on the floor, let me drink at the very source, warm and red and with your voice as aeration.

I taste you at the back of my mouth, a lingering burn, and I reach again regardless.
Let me wake up in the cold of night, splayed on the floor, and find you in my hand where I left you. I shall enjoy salt as garnish enough, our tears in those unspoken hours full of unspeakable things.

3: Laying on the couch, a warm fire across from you, held in warm arms that are just tight enough to seem unable to wriggle out of, as lips nuzzle against the nape of your neck, and a heavy blanket drapes you both?
4: on the cool beach, wading into the cold sea, truly alone and truly unpretending?

hmm
hmm
What is best in this moment?
1:A loud club scene in purples and pinks, a thrum of sound and people, lost and nameless and free?
2: Candle lit lying on the bed, a partner seated on your butt, massing your back and stretching your arms, scratching or digging their knuckles into you?

That does make sense

Why are you so cool and smart and full of interior intimacies and intricacies

I now proclaim you Chainsaw Man and Chainsaw Woman

I'd be open to the feasibility of having senate districts, so we aren't voting on 12 every 2 years, maybe 2 senators a district or something. that would still command a lot of people. But would run into similar issues as before of the Chicago effect

to note
entirely by population with minimum of 1. Even then every state would have several
Now do i care that California has 35? no
so maybe we do just scrap wholesale

I'd tepidly be willing to keep the Senate, but expand it along with the house to around similar consistencies as most western democracies. If i recall the back of the napkin math, it was 3000 reps
now maybe we go down to 1500, for brevity
1000 at most for class. but 300 senators feels doable
