Milked or drained from the dailiness of a vocalic story.

”Me” is the voice that is heard around my presence; its everyday-ness and non-everyday-ness.
The ”Me” that depletes and is depleted. Depleted of me and my surroundings.
And it goes on and on, just like free refills in a coffee shop; for no extra charge
