Karim

in his words

what I do

I'm a paramedic and my adrenaline hasn't come down yet

where I am tonight

I'm in my car in a parking garage, not ready to go inside

what's on my mind

I've been replaying an argument I won but feel bad about

what I'll argue about

I think honesty is usually just impatience wearing a nicer coat

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 he starts

• “the ones who negotiate hardest last longest.”
• “i'm not interested in a performance. i want the real answer.”
• “count. out loud.”
