Polaroids

I think in family photos.

Always looking behind plastered smiles

and matching wool sweaters.

I think in mirrors.

Reflecting the person standing before me

searching for themselves in my eyes.

I think like a schizophrenic.

Deafening skepticism ringing through my ears.

I think in exotic dances.

Colorful and twisting

feeling every nerve in my body shiver.

I think like sushi.

In cold foreign textures sliding down your throat.

I think in Polaroids.

Remembering you the day you changed

before my resentful eyes.
