sciatica and its toothpaste perfume
it's only one side of the body
so think on the bright side

i can take it
it's only one side

doing everything it shouldn't
smelling like toothpaste
thinking about oscar wilde
and all the wonderful short stories
he would be writing about the NPC
if he were alive today

while even the onions mold here
that's just how much
nothing rotten lasts

it's just renewed with terms like
inter-sectional feminism that will never do anything
for me

beloved terms now used by former date rapists of the 90's
or explored in the context of a service oriented dom
man but not at all man
backbone free
because the missing spine
is incapable of pain

everytime it holds up the protest sign
in cal anderson park

what do you do
when you miss understand
everything about yourself
and re-enter a mirror so fakely
but change your roll to switch
before changing it back to sub

sub sub
human

wish i never spoke your language
i never want to hear the word
dehumanizing again, because i'm
not done telling you
who you really are
because i'm never done
watching you misinterpreting
and ruining everything
