Water’s warm until you jump
This is where the hair comes out and
swings its hips down into
Don’t tell me how to do
I’ve grabbed all the pens I’ve owned and
lost them Each and every one
down with the
tiny
canoe
It’s all political all
if you lose a thing you don’t have to take it back
Someone points a finger a few degrees away from you
& your mouth
mouthing nonono
fingers pick picking at your lower lip
Oh,
I was outside of 7/11 the other day
A man was shouting at me “Get the fuck out of here!”
on his bike doing little wheelies A girl followed
me to my class and asked if I was afraid
said she was afraid
& then the hollow thing came back and made itself
bigger than me
not bigger than my skin Not so my skin couldn’t
Just to see how far a thing can stretch
It goes on for hours
Me, pulling and you, pulling
at one end of the
Bubble tape until
Someone wins the race
This is a promise
people won’t believe you when you pull your pants down. People
won’t believe you when you say my stomach hurts. I am on the bus
with a small hand in my lap. I am at the co op staring at egg prices
A lady tells me my skin asks me my skin
so cool in this icky grocery lighting? Embarrassed
and pocket some
It’s a flaw in
our chemistry to
Rely on. it’s obvious
it’s obvious when you’re hooked to an IV obvious when
you
look at your Own asshole
There are things you don’t forgive and let’s be honest
here
let’s be Frank
it is usually the things you are most often doing.
Blob me blob
nobody
Mirrors are sweet cos We forget ! and then there we are
there we are
Leave it to me
They told me if you don’t show
Listen: someone else will
& then my body wakes on top of itself squirmy &
pretends it just loves a good party
here are the times when one part
Wants thing
And the other part
Wants Thing
Guy at the bar says
not to be offensive but
you look like
mouse in kitty’s mouth — tail wriggling itself out.
In short you can join the threat when it’s big enough
It’s the small ones you gotta
watch out for
When the man enter my house
I say I got no problem with that
With
what outta the hand if I drop’t it
I am so shellfish. So full of meats
Cook the chick too soft n got down on my feets
This is the part where the important thing starts
Look:
There is a type
of
Person that
walks right in
There is a type
of
Person that
hugs anyone
I put my self in the box and I shut it
& then he’s there too
pretty dark but I can still see you
pretty in that
dark
When asked about the Experience afterward
I say
It was cool but
perhaps
meant
for someone else
