windshield wipers
swipe the gentle drizzle
away from my sight
as i try to listen
and hear
and absorb
and accept
this love coming at me from the passenger side
but it’s hard when your own brain gives you ways
to always counter with absurd logic
anything better than
utter self-hatred

but i’m trying
i’m trying
i’m trying

how long
can i hate myself
and come out the other side
to love

it has to be a flat circle
like time
no?

~~~

weird ass songs
fill my
weird ass heart
with
weird ass vibes
of
weird ass love

(hahaha, ass-love)

~~~

i feel as though my poetry
is getting less and less
hinged

i.e.

more and more
and more and more and more
unhinged
as the words/years/time flies by

but maybe i was always this unhinged
it just took a little while
to write
