(I set the gnome down on the stage and grab the c.d.)Īlthough now I know you intended for shit to be possessive, The side of you that refused to take crap

The side of you that refused to take crap from this concrete gnome? That feisty, aggressive, strong-willed side of you…. I would watch from my window as you would kick him over every time you walked by him. You took a lot of aggression out on him over those next few months.
