My gut started aching Again today, a familiar tearing haunting Mama says to live off soup and crackers I'm always the blondest and first one chosen to go first *****, no. Angel, no. Queen In the room.
It takes eons to get to and from anywhere In the snowy windy *** ****** city I'll never forget when I first got here It all feels like a dream As I finally stand behind lenses Creating something from absolutely nothing I wish I felt totally well It's as if my past has coiled itself up In ropes and twisted snakes in my stomach As I lay on the bed with my lead actress Describing beautiful flowered vines Taking up space in her insides Whisking and floating around her ribs As if me and my metaphors were meant to do nothing But this.
Sometimes I go to speak, to release sound And I think for a frightful moment I've forgotten how to intelligently, in a linear sense Articulate my thoughts.
I could call you I could text you I could show up at your door 9 people turning and giving their opinions But my gut and I proceed in our direction.
You rubbed my back, feeding me tums and Sprite This must be so very hard for you little Zaky. I can't wait to not be in love with you.
I release myself into the sky Flying past all the birds Forget your duck sweatshirt or that other ex as we whispered "duck" as our ****** secret ****** code None of it, none of it For me anymore The snow sparkling like a thousand diamonds I lay low on the drinking and competing And let happiness be my noise.
