Poems
Sep 2017
I thought I was happy, turns out I'm a *****
Someone said that having secrets was like holding an invisible box close to your chest. Nobody can get close and they can't see why.
It's in the ******* way.
I overturned my box, papers all tumbling out--you could've picked up any one and asked a question.
You said nothing, upturning like a fish. Belly-up boy.
I picked softly at your lip, finding a tattoo on the inside of your lip.
It says "*****" but it might as well have said "YOU'RE STUPID" to me.
I tried to pull any information I could about it out of you.
I got nothing, like *** from a stone.
How many happy misadventures do I get?
How many boys do I lose in my bed?
Does this count as a valid experience?
Have I learned anything?
