try tearing paper into perfect squares, it will cut your fingers


synthesize me
a love song, miss. i want
to be
back on the road.
get the bass
in sync with the
blinkers & send me somewhere
new like
CO or AZ. let the roads
be my web &
cradle me in cold front.
baby, i want you, i want
you.
can't you hear me barreling down
the road? i'm lost, i am lost like
a reindeer strayed
from the herd.

sometimes things are too
disorganized to trust in. good
friends & time are all
you need. music helps too
& that's okay. i think bass &
treble are the neosporin of
serious problems & in between
an ampersand sandwich, so that must be
true. i miss living in wholes (clearly
this is the case because i'm writing
halfway normal.

if you're vaguely attracted to rooftops
hannah takes the stairs
cause' she can't tell it's a winding spiral case
is she outside-in?
or inside-out?"

this is how i feel now & everyday

"dear lord jesus,
my eyes won't close
& my hands won't clap
& my hair won't grow

i'm so lonely
my mind is gonna go
if i don't find me a friend in the snow
you've taken more than i owe.

i want from no one
what i need from you

i've got family, they sing through the fun
they've got a son too spineless
scared now to run.

say you love me & show me some fin
tell me life don't weigh a goddamn ton
i swear,
my back is just a drum"

-hair don't grow [annuals]

maps

& atlases

"dancing old linen
& crooked eye hole cuts
we walked in steps of mathFont size
& now in closet candlelight
writing songs for ghosts to haunt to"

the sorest of times


got your thoughts on my mind.

t-minus a week of
school left. three finals
& a paper. should be
permeating what little
space there is
around my brain but
thoughts of an
overpacked car on
the interstate
(with the windows
down & the music
in motion)
nothing but the open road
& eleven
hours in front of me. it's
all i can think about.
don't wanna do work.
don't wanna write
or memorize. just want
to drive,
drive, & drive.
