you wear two eyepatches instead of a blindfold
i look ridiculous
you invite me inside and step on my foot
i buy you new shoes
nuance is dead
i am tired of pretending to recognize subtlety
you should leave me to my hobbies
of dancing around topics i care about,
and playing ping pong with a table made out of people
i request we normalize stupidity like we do kindness and terror
laughing through time as if it were linear
i request a bed of nails for the back support
may i sink peacefully into the wood below

may i sink peacefully into the wood below
i wrote this in august and forgot i wrote it
