Accelerator
everyday I swim up
and then look back at you
I wonder if everyone that has ever struggled
with a lighter knew that you can hold
the accelerator down for a patient sec before
you light the wick
You finished my sentence
the other day
I said the reason
I spend every free moment
reorganizing
it’s because it’s your love language
I was going to say it is because I want you
to stay forever and I am forever
making room for you

Supermarket Sweep
I did that thing again
where I wipe the slate clean
There’s not a single thing
left in this world
that could mortify me
I hope if it involved you
if there was some apology
you wanted from me
there is a poem in this sweep
to set you free
too
There’s just gotta be

Human Unless You Tell Me Otherwise
Imagine that your ex-girlfriend
is like an older brother to you
She bullies you a bit when you wrestle
puts you in a loose headlock
but always lets you get away
Imagine they know about your childhood
the calls to 911 and the operator saying
Is this an emergency?
Yes
No
I don’t know
Are you imagining?
Can you send someone to 2511 East 24th St?
Apt 14
I’m just speculating
No, I take it back
they’re just pillow fighting
but eventually
No one will care that
this isn’t working
And your ex-girlfriend will just be shouting
Why the fuck didn’t you fight for me?
Why didn’t you burn down the bar for me?
How did you not see me
