MemorandomWhen I die, I hope that
you won't sneeze when your fingers grow numb, but worse things
Are sure to come. So again, I must admit
The turtle fell over
dreary clad cube caresses made mild in thin blankets of down, temperate
and I need to be coddled. I am small and I am
not the only one here, but everybody else seems like they just walked
and began to skip, but tripped instead. Skinned knees are certainly
the result of kneeling for clandestine purposes for too long gone
theft of what is now
then every once in a while I just blank out, you know? Remember the time
when you looked at me intensely? I miss those days.
The smell of cut grass, the feel of linoleum, even the beautiful writing on
the wall could not reveal your true intentions. I wonder
what became of the white lab coat after the experiment? It didn't hold
up my expectations, my dopamine, nor my
hair just after a perm, when I walk around for days stinking like
sex— I feel dizzy and sit down. I tell myself:
"I will try to speak to you in a random way, so you listen to me likewise."
My ears rang. Eventually, muscle memory kicked it, and I stepped forward.
