i am running out of new forms of consumption of new ways to **** myself i am slowly draining the pus from a wound i am washing myself off my/ self and pulling nothing out of thin air and the ocean turns and looks at me and i look at it and it asks me what i’m doing here and i try to look at my/ self but i cant i cant my eyes are messy runny egg blobs like the girl with the bomb i am the girl with the bomb i am the bomb i am the **** im madonna and the ***** and im locking myself back in the tower. the tower is burning and crashing and suddenly, the waves. i still havent answered the oceans question, its getting impatient, i am eating breakfast—eggs—and the shore erodes away until i am standing on nothing, the ocean beating mercilessly away at me—it does not tire like i do. it does not tire like i do. i can’t look the ocean in the eyes. i want to bottle it up and swallow it, salty brine and all, and maybe then i’ll finally know just what it wants me to be i will look at me through the ocean’s eyes and know my place but the ocean shies away from my hand and shies away from my hand and shies away from my hand until my hand is nothing and nobody
