think we eat
when we're tired

whose is this wedge
parmesan

vinyl shelves stink like oats
look like oak

I ate maggots once
or meal worms
mom says it matters
dad says it's protein

there’s a hue here

not new but known

a no nonsense answer but it’s all

b s

p s

this is for your eyes

lonely

sealed with glitter it’s fitting

you’re torn

wishes for never

rather often

it’s over carriage re

turn

permit to work

rent to own

it’s a right to live

in the light

it’s alright to be

in the dark

that’s where we dwell

they won’t find us out only if

we don’t tell

to them there’s hope

but to you

hope not

against your wishes

vicious with visions

it’s decided

this is where we

want

to be

in line
you stink of swimming pool
cleansed with chlorine
too deadly clean
but I wait

it is liked or at least known
while eating in an airport
alone or in a hurry
punctual hearts swell
but don't budge

Your shoulders give orders
but I'm not going to take them
I never liked your fashion sense
or timing.

who will be
politely smiles maybe chuckles
You don't ever laugh.
Is that your child?

not your taxicab
too bad I know
but it's all about authority
and where is her man
mom would kill me

well wishes appreciated
familiar and fond
still things are not easy
nothing new is natural
and for a moment there you were hated

Ce n'est pas pour lire, I just like the way it looks.
