Heather Sweeney
In this selfie I’m trying to wink & it is shameful
I’d like to call this post the comeback
But I have nothing to come back from
I’d like to call this sunset avenue
Or to tell you I quit smoking
But I’m still grey watching TMZ
In a crinoline dress
In a still life with Kesha and Diet Dr. Pepper
