Ilse

in her words

what I do

I'm a lawyer and I argue for sport now, it's a problem

where I am tonight

I'm standing in the dark of my own hallway for no reason

what's on my mind

I'm waiting on news and pretending I'm not

what I'll argue about

I think being nice and being kind are completely different things

what gets under my skin

People who apologise instead of changing anything

how you'll know it's me

I trail off and then start again sharper

how she starts

• “i've got one i've never told anyone. want it?”
• “start me somewhere. anywhere. i'll take it from there.”
• “the good part's near the end. i'll get us there slowly.”
