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

Chasing perfection
Sharper than air
And
Discovering roots
Or
digging under sand
oxygen blossoms taste waves on another planet
Gripping shapes in the dark
It carries a spell
firestarter

things aren’t too bad right now, talked in therapy last week about how it’s not even necessarily in the moment that situations feel so uncomfortable but before and after the fact and how i want to change that because it’s so exhausting and i'm so tired of feeling so consumed by anxieties and this unjustified guilt, how it prioritizes other people's feelings over my own, and how it’s so exhausting
“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
