AT MY MOST DEPRAVED I AM A BANSHEE ❋ Sarah Vandervennet

one place I’ve never been
and want to go to
is a quarry
a quarry
where we mine
for coral
corals are mostly
bones
living in water
while we are
mostly water
living in bones
we get along better
with driftwood
for obvious reasons
I’m tired
of explaining things
that don’t need
to be explained
like our bodies’
natural detection
of contrasts
the oceans
around here
are made of landfills
hence the exasperation
of marine biologists
research is usually
sex-drive-driven
especially in the case
of quantum mechanics
people are all connected
we just have to figure out
which electrons
are doing the talking
the reason tortoises
live forever
is because they don’t know
they want to die
I defenestrate
my gaze
for a second
before deciding
it’s not worth it
I don’t know
what a polka
sounds like
but I bet
you could use one
as an umbrella
like how umbrellas
can be used
for jumping out windows
a parachute
is one way to escape
another
is to appease
societal expectations
