Can I have this for my wallpaper?
We’re quite attracted to each other.
Maybe it’s your necklace made of
zippers. I got that from K-Pop.
We’re both a little under the weather
but I hope to see you tomorrow. It
almost makes me freakin’ nervous
to wonder about what the sex will be like.
Maybe this is actually Berkeley
or even Rockridge. “Be silent
for a moment.” “I can’t, it’s a
narrative with lots of shouting.”
The plants sneak out like boobs,
pick up the stakes while the dogs
bark. Even a slumlord knows it’s
lonely in the slum.
