ASPERITAS ❋ Simon Kim

Years ago I planned
a solo trip to egypt
but instead I went
on wellbutrin. I’ve
seen two oceans.
I haven’t read all
the books. The
cigarettes I buy
have pyramids
on their packaging.
The sky reminds me
of a geological word.
The sky is like schist
& I am too but also
not really. My friend’s
name Kangsan means
river-mountain
in korean. I think that
is the most beautiful
name. Scientists
have named eleven
new clouds. I couldn’t
explain where the
steak came from the
cow. I motioned with
my hands cutting
into a cow. The left
hand was the cow.
