You’re a unique composition.
Patiently affable.

Balancing slippery elm and adderall.
Vitamin d but no ferritin.
Barely fed.
A ray of sunshine and burn.
You must be popular with men.

Hair covered and a third quarter pull up—youre not showing even a speck of liner
or age
or skin.
Or white of an eye.
And you havent said your name.

walk 14 blocks at midnight for this.
Turn your headphones up.
You see things:

crack of brick on a corner
when shadows change
and the way begging bone hugs limb.

The way your sudden sprint changes men.
