befriend the dog who keeps its jaw unhinged
occupying his time by ripping an old string,
spinning the wire,
spilling the wine
terrified used as another word for teased
does the title of "entertainer" get you off?
or just make you itch.
scalp raw -- no point but still holding on?
so jester-like.
this house reeks of kerosene, but it's just the house
does the smell linger on your chin?
a meaningless hookup bounces on the walls
notice the change in color?
i'm so white for you
this situation is irritable
mindless interactions, no plausibility, straight despite.
god forbid, there's animosity.
maybe in another lifetime I will be made for you
but for now,
if you see me sailing away,
leave me struggling to paddle.
who needs friends anyway?
