Time Loop: 1971, Saigon

Apocalypse at the edges of the eye

Fill my mouth with water and napalm

Strike me twice

And I’ll be yours forever

My favorite parasite

Oh you’re so bad for me, baby

Got eyes like bullet casings and twice as worse of a cigarette habit

¿Qué se hace, mi amor?

We’ve been here before

We’ve done this a thousand times and more

Orange and green and purple and blue smoke signals

Watch my insides explode like fireworks

At the end of the world, the smoke’s rising

But that’s okay

It’s all a meaningless loop anyway

a/n: apocalypse now playing in the background, rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead by tom stoppard and borderlands/la frontera by gloria anzaldúa on the table, random bruise on my thigh, tab on my laptop about parasitic mating and anglerfish from nat geo, water bottle on the table with a mr. orange sticker from reservoir dogs, ramona vance's ambient concept album 'this world is upside down', and the sound of gunshots down the street
