brain
thinking up ways to scare off the dread
attached to my brain like burrs to a pet
pink vulnerable cluster chafing to shreds
why cant the good things stick there instead
/
out in the field with a butterfly net
swinging it down, little wings in the mesh
i watched its body turn stiff in a jar
always been told that i take things too far
/
all that i want vs all that I get
twisting my hands like a fly in the shit
if i cant have it nobody will
squeeze and i squeeze until it goes still
/
i can be better i'll be the best
i'll make you wonder what reason you left
smell of your gum, the words that you said
i'll make you remember what i cant forget
