Rubbing his back.
She said my breath smelled like ice cream.
We went to Golden Gate Park’s Botanical Garden and ate them.
And stretched on the lawn
Awaiting their arrival and then they came.
All the while we had excellent timing.
When she stretched her lower back on the grass I took
Photos in which her nose looks unlike it does actually.
I braided her whole entire head on the bench
And she let me
Saying
She felt as if she looked like
Felicia
From Friday.
They affected my hands such that I could arrive at the heat
Her hands emitted to a sensor in my own cold palm that was
Larger than touch.
She shook at me when I tried to
Help with the hoodie and I cried
Inside and late.
I cried in the night and morn
Because I was
Confused.
I met David Brazil. I bought The Ordinary.
Advanced Adulthood
I take a walk.
I order 3 tacos.
I order 2 tacos.
I take a walk.
What’s the big fucking deal about
******* anyway.
It’s empty there.
I didn’t see anything there.
Where is it?
Today I could aspire but I want to nap
And look for the pot I lost in the desk I found on the street.
Some people are interested in exploring the ways
Something is negotiated
In light of something else.
God bless them.
I have to fucking live.
My north node placement
Suggests I shouldn’t concern myself
With the thoughts or values
Of other people –
Which I understand to mean I mustn’t antagonize “people” in my poems
Feeling triumphant in
Disputes I begin and leave the crust of but
Eat the cheese.
I had a vision now.
It wasn’t a vision.
A man in a striped shirt stood in a line.
His hair looked like yours
So I thought of you.
Fuck I prolly should’ve messaged you back
After I asked for and you sent me that photo
Of your baby.
Your yes, yes.
Your no, nah.
Truth
Over evil.
I gotta go.
I gotta dream.
So that the Lord will
Find my finger.
Adornment is exaltation enacted.
I am an earring of the Lord.
It’s Saturday. I meet you, get soft.
I have to trust people
Or else I’m too busy.
I feel nothing but foolish
And also okay
Because what will happen is I will
Continue to live.
And then one day I’ll die.
I spread butter on the darkest rye
As if it’s cheese.
A turd of butter
Attaches to the pen with which I write
This. I wonder if it’s sanitary
To leave the ketchup outside all the time.
At night, even.
And also the hot sauce.
My duty is to tend
To the children I house
But I have hate in me.
I wake up.
It is a jealous dream.
The left side of my pussy
Hurts even.
He thinks I should be glad because they
Like the idea of Aisha. I am not the idea of Aisha.
