Poems
Jan 2017
the pyromaniac
sitting in the 7th grade classroom,
the science teacher sternly explained
the premise is that
if a frog is put into boiling water
it will jump out
but if it is put in tepid water
which boils slowly
it will be burnt to death.
and oh my god
i never realized why I stayed
and let myself burn
(but then again, I run towards smoke
and I like the smell of fire)
(i keep matchsticks under my tongue
and I like to fan the spark)
(i guess you could say
smeared char compliments the colour
of my vulnerability)
(ive never looked better)
