Read my poetry like it is silk falling through your lips
And with those lips,
Kiss me at specific intervals.
Say that you like the way my clothes drown my shoulders and knees
And don't expect me to be happy all the time.
Understand the patterns of my tears
… Hold my hands when I cry,
But promise not to break my fingers.
And with those lips,
Kiss me at specific intervals.
Say that you like the way my clothes drown my shoulders and knees
And don't expect me to be happy all the time.
Understand the patterns of my tears
… Hold my hands when I cry,
But promise not to break my fingers.

interstitial
shuffling,
between bass music
and crazy looking floors
caught stuck dancing,
between the cocaine beat
and the existential shadow.
blinking blankly between,
trapped, I mean,
between the image and the afterburn,
incessant ringing of the slot machines,
celebrate everything
carpet
strategically designed
to ensnare me
in kaleidoscopic fences
cafe attendant
bizarrely happy to see me
escalators,
are fun-house mirrors
to catch the light of
dim fluorescents
please kill me
if I ever un-ironically use that shade of mauve
that painting in the corner,
Literature
Even so
Everyone gathered to hear the mute speaker
to understand his verse
to not look dumb
Even though, even though
they were all deaf
they just pretended
They didn't want to seem
seem like fools
to everyone else
Even though, even though
they were all blind
