from the fingernail slivers of sympathetic looks
“oh, i didn’t know you were twenty-five”
to the sugar coated saccharine phrases
“well, you’re just the right age to date”
there’s a tingling sensation i have yet to observe
surface level i think i am
embarrassed for myself and for you for even asking, starting this asinine conversation
sink into the dermis, i think i am
ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
what kind of girl can’t even lock down a man?
what kind of woman can’t even get married?
traditionalist things that echo loud clanging sounds
in my brain, the poor thing’s exhausted
i’ve tried to stretch myself and look inward
i’ve tried to pull my tongue out and be different
but my god, this entire thing?
it’s so boring, so boring, i am bored without even finishing
