You are sagging in my pocket. I cannot let you go.

*

Look, a beautiful person is dancing.

*

Wasn’t my face meant to be private? Wasn’t yours?

*

Think boots. Buy boots from a pop-up ad.

*

Webcam penguins waddle through a museum!

*

Alexa. What is this I’m feeling?

*

The government tracks my sadness.

*

I hold the Grecian shore in my palm.

*

I watch a MasterClass on hostage negotiation.

*

If you put buds in your ears, sadness will listen.

*

My fingers shrink and enlarge other people’s successes.

*

Sadness once hung on a wall. Had a mouthpiece. A receiver.

*

hey period do you want me to pick up anything question mark

*

Planes leave white trails across the sky. Sadness fades an outline on my ass.

*

Suggested for you: the world’s oldest story and global myths.

*

The more you scroll, the more you scroll.

*

What can you do with my thumbprint? I don’t want to find out.

*

Tracing my steps makes them add up.

*

I know by heart many numbers that reach no one.

*

The glowing thing I hold is neither an orange nor fire.
