Here, have some.

She says

tasteful, don’t you think?
Her hollowing out
just like that

snap, snap, snap
people these days
they just don’t fucking understand a thing

“it’s simple, really”
she whispers to you
and in return you whisper to me

but i don’t hear it
most people don’t hear you, you know.

Wanna go out?
just like that
clack, clack, clack

that’s when it happens

can’t be that hard, she says
don’t know if she can, she says
when are we going, she says
not with you, she says
i only wish i knew how, she says

Symbiosis

So you know that feeling you get right before you
you
that feeling you get
that feeling…

(I fucking wish I knew how to use words.)

It’s like saying yes to something you’ve already accepted
that’s what it’s like
but the yes is more of a question

“Yes?”

in a sense amused
and at the same time wishing you could change your answer

that sounds pretty damn good.
whatever that means.

miraculously–then

wake up
trees everywhere
spilling sap and
cracking with the effort

c’mon, make me laugh
squish my fingers in it
make my face all sticky
i’ll pretend to drown in a stream

over and over
until all the sticky is gone
and i’m half choking on water from giggling

(you’ll do it)

then
i’m strung out on dirty grass
it’s stuck all over my body
skin leeching the green right out

i’m a goddamn leprechaun
and my pockets are full of clovers
and tiny men from board games

(i’m why the pieces
are always missing)

they fall out when i roll down the hill
disappear in the blades
i meant to put them back, i swear

i’m tired, suddenly.

and you kiss my sweaty forehead
when i reach the bottom
then tell me it’s gross

suddenly, i’m in love with my life.
