The Functional Equivalent of a Haircut



Punctuation was never your strong suit. I gloss over this
pointing finger, out of tune skin. I said maybe gray. What
snapchat looks like. They showed me this out of tune frame
as a reminder. Hang curtains. Lay low. Say for certain, a surprise embellishment.
           
            I do not
            wish you
            dead.

This roadside porn bores me. You pointing finger, you
consequence. Where did I get
these clichéd sounds? You wanted so to believe in
an eventual denouement. You wanted
some use for your, shall we say­—
            skills.

Some erasure is inevitable. Egress
was never your strong suit. Punctuation, I gloss over this
not so deliberate grace.

Boring landscape.
Amplified/Extenuated. Heroics.
Of course she's thin.
