[ ]

i wrote some notes
before
i opened the floor
for questions
& here we are now
i’ll remind you
that you asked.

i’m burned out on sexy people
& sexy parties
how does it feel
being you
see i guess you’ve gathered
i’m intense —
that’s why i like camping

yeah no yeah how
do you get it all quiet
how do you convince yourself
to breathe?
like this:

but honestly
that hasn’t been the ticket
i’m fucked up on books
& skin
& it’s easier loving people
from a distance
you spend less money, right?
and i don’t have panic attacks
about clothing removal

is it sensitivity
or sensibility?
there aren’t many songs
with this melody, but
we try, we try
that’s why we should all sing.

so yeah. good morning.
did you have your coffee?
is it nice out today?
that’s good. i’m just
so fucking tired.
