i am not dumb i could read before i could walk but i don't remember when i talked, or what i said. the words always tangle they tangle in my ears and my mouth and they ooze down through my bones to my lungs make it hard to breathe and see i am not dumb i know your bluey veins and your callous knuckles. i know your eyes are green and i have never seen them, not ever. but i saw your hand twitch, just once, next to you myoclonic **** like you're falling asleep
