your finest copper, please.
My one reason to
stay South
wait and see?
A new man
currently at a cult retreat.
Is 6’4” and sweet
enough to silence
what is most likely fake science?
Or that he fits like a glove?
Lose my breath
and my mind.
Maybe, eventually… love?
Eh, at least enough to get an IUD.
Live a little,
feel some skin.
Let em swim to freedom
till they hit the wall.
Democracy?
Trump love
Insert fear
Inside, copper lasts up to 12 years.
Act now
while you still have the right.
Ah, yes! My “career”
What is it, again?
Stuck in the middle of grown ass men
As the go-between.
Soul sucked in to squeeze.
No job security.
A fucked up fun house.
Great company.
Muffle my screams
lose my voice
smirk at the stupidity.
Clock ticks.
Chasing my tail
investing in dreams
I’m not convinced
were ever my own.
Social proof for men
who need therapy
somehow has become
my history.
Redline.
Is this rock bottom
in disguise?
Maybe I’m just
sleep deprived.
What is time? Not mine.
Meeting scheduled
on the cal
with myself
in a month. I’m busy.
By then if the reminder’s
still snoozed,
sound the alarm
Aww, why don’t I smile?
I’m not suicidal
just idle.
Atrophied muscles
have lost memory
of how to curl up.
Need more gas
Easy fix.
But is it?
Miles and miles
drag racing in a circle
in this car that I’ve just now
learned to drive
but maybe I knew all along.
If I would have just believed
told fear to fuck off
I’d be in a Volkswagen Model T1.
Scenic route
On the run
Soon, babe
I promise
But for now
I just needed to
publicly
emotionally cum.
