[ CC ] For What It's Worth They Were Briefly Gorgeous
Perks of youth. If only I had
sense enough to take a picture---
they'd have lasted longer. I came in
all sMiley C's like a pair of wrecking
balls. Nursing and gravity ruled
the ring in a tag-team knocked-up
dragged-out fight-clubbing. Swing
away at these speed bags?
Count. me. out.

Thank you, T! I don't think I got Vuong's essence though. It was rough enough just keeping it at 50 words for Case's comp. :/
