This is the part where I pretend it's okay.
We are talking and I am thinking and you are listening / tiny green peas ripen into crimson heirloom tomatoes / the cerebral cavity starts to fill and compress each fruit

Blistered and that pinkish color that my grandma thinks is good for lipstick. The skin starts to peel, but I am not a snake. I can’t shed it all at once.
