In the absence of others
I talk to myself
alliterate
sound
I just need to hear
a voice

Assonance rules
my desire
to capitalize
on mesmer
and own you
with vibration

Knowing you are here
in bubbles
wishing to be owned
liked packaged sweets
unraveling and
sticky

a mere smear
liberal on dark matter
Jelly on ghost
sandwiched
between verse
and hurried

you waffle
and fake
knowing
this feels
you think

and knowing
fakes its death
hoping
you'll leave
a scentillion
a modicum
a smidgen

Of that mf'er
now
