Undress me in rhyme - We talk ***** in haiku "You are a bad girl."- - - - - - - hey, baby you, tiny little mashed potato heartstrings hangin' from a tenderizer enough time has elapsed to where it's appropriate for us to address (what really matters here) (our letters to home) (our letters to each other) road trip checklist numbered 1-49. the last step is to be discovered later. when we lose track of the metric system and need to borrow a cup of sugar, but this is Australia and what, oh what, is a cup? it's bound to happen eventually, is what my mom told me so there'll have to be two kisses, twice for good measure the more lies i feed myself, the smaller i become. is this physics or something else that boy who stood me up majored in? tiny things are your thing - they're mysterious. i could be small enough to dangle from your pinky finger. i could nestle in your eardrum. i could scale the length of your adam's apple. i could hang-glide from the straight line of your not completely evolved forehead. i could go on forever. My favorite memory is when i baked myself into three-ingredient peanut butter cookies. They burned and you lied. You said something so good couldn't be so simple And i said "it takes one to know one."
