I'm pretty sure shitty poetry is way closer to your wheelhouse than mine, dude. Did you write poetry when you were younger? Song lyrics?

( eddie actually kind of desperately wants to know the answer, but he suspects richie will definitely hold out on him if he sounds too interested. it's a monumental effort to sound completely chill about it.

he wishes he knew more about what they were all like, after leaving derry. specifically wishes he knew more about richie. did he go to college? work shitty jobs? write poetry? eddie just wants to know....everything. it's a little intense. )

How about I hire you as my ghostwriter?
