Cotton Candy Fault Lines

Spoken and unheard

Polymer on vinyl

A More Convenient Way to Theft

Blurry edges of pixelated droplets

Tears fall like blood rushed 

Different texture within same fabric

But O, how the colors change

SPLINTERFACE

No short-term rentals

It went sour once we had the urge to kiss

Unhappy Cuz I’m Yours

You can’t fake starlight. You don’t have to —

“it’s for a gallery” (you can hear it, right?)

“could it be under jackie kennedy?”

“that’s it.”

BIOHAZARD BAGS

if tables (surfaces) were lopsided and turned

(which they are) then

imagine using brute force to physically lift the entirety of a motor vehicle above your head carrying it on your back for miles bringing it home to eat with your family

next time you want to kill an ant

my heart raced they wanna know what it sounds like </3

Daddy doesn’t wanna play with you and he doesn’t care if you cry

Not now baby, mommy’s feeling the collective energy
