a small frog lodges itself in my throat. a dry scream. a call for help.
wide-eyed and worthless, what will you do?
sleep now. close your eyes and then puff your way into my lungs.
lay there. lie and lie. do not open your mouth.
I die. You know I could. And you would die too, grafted into my skin,
my cells, my awkward limbs, the unfortunate body which
has to move and convince a stranger I am worthy of love.

little green monster, tiny hidden peek of rumbles and soft skin
I repent, I take it back, open your lips and tell me
I am a bright piece in this awful wreckage.
and tell those others, please tell them,
they have no business here.
I do not want them anymore,
or ever again.

(buzz for a cliche)
-coll, this is a reminder that something was
here, that you need to remember, but don't
need to type out in full-

odd or even.

if we subtract you,
it's a clean 100th victory.
it's hard to say whether
or not i've always admired
multiples of ten
or if i do now,
because it doesn't include
a plus 1.
