10 Nov Shy Watson
: /
i am sitting at the bus stop
quietly listening to vince staples
instagramming the festive trashcan
in front of me
it is filled with a
rainbow’s representation
of poop baggies
i look up to notice
a man barreling across the street
with outstretched arms
I’M HERE FOR YOU
he shouts
and i wonder
he throws himself onto the bench
points at my green hair
and asks me,
“do the curtains match the drapes?”
NO SHE DIDN’T
i want to fuck
in the grand canyon
before i die
*i want to fuck
in the grand canyon
while i’m dying
the other day
my dad told me
about some french couple
that fell from a castle
to their deaths
mid-coitus
i thought that
was really hot
and i wondered if he came
she probably didn’t
AUGUST
trying hard not to
like Tame Impala in my underwear
I am two hits shy of becoming a bug
the unconscious
guy in the grass
is being rained on
by a bag of wine
it sprays
out the tall man’s crotch flap
whispering into the megaphone
because you are too drunk to remember me
i repeat the same sentences
over and over
forcing a stamp
into the gray matter
of an otherwise blurry brain
