i pretend i don’t know
i pretend i don’t see them sitting there too close together too much touching too much laughter it makes me feel stupid i always felt so stupid.
i woke up at 5am with my face stuck to the cover of
the iliad i’d bend it back i’m sorry homer sorry your writing was
never as good as Virgil’s. i’d probably touch anyone if they asked me
they say i’m not supposed to feel everything so deeply -  say it’s weird and uncomfortable - it’s uncontrollable all the glow in the dark stars decided to fall from my ceiling at once my duvet lights up in the dark
i came
i conquered
i fell asleep on my own arm
