Don’t Send Pictures of Your Penis

Now featured in Ghosting isn’t Breaking Up: Apathy in Present Tense

You know I know all of your secrets

I'm drinking and in the mood

Don't send pictures of your Penis

I sometimes smoke cigarettes

I have a Harry Potter tattoo

You know I know all of your secrets

I am curious to see if your confidence

can be tabulated into reality by this afternoon

Don't send pictures of your penis

Are there even REAL guys on CraigsList?

I like zombies, lets continue

You know I know all of your secrets

I love argyle socks and plaid shirts

we can debate their use, you choose

don't send pictures of your penis

I'm not ready for bed yet

unless Prince Charming is you?

You know I know all of your secrets

Don't send pictures of your penis
