LIKE THAT

She had a bullet
hole in her black
leather Gucci
bag and we all
wondered if it
was a real
Gucci

hell, we all knew
the bullet hole
was real cause
Marcus was in
the hospital for
3 days and never
told Sally
why his left nut
was missing and
how those jeans
got ripped at
the crotch
like that

Jeff confesses: "I feel fortunate when I can channel characters and listen to them tell their stories. There’s a responsibility to stay true to the storyteller, no matter where they take you. Reports of women who take violent revenge on cheating boyfriends certainly had an influence."
