What can you say that will not make you
seem so small? Because even
considering my conversational atrophy
you vanish
like a disappointing kiss
I wonder how
long you actually
existed
As soon as I am rich, I will hold it above you
so
don’t jog
your memory
Or, if you must, avoid
Piedmont Avenue
and bring an inhaler
Don’t assume air molecules won’t
crush you, and don’t
rely on Google Maps for proof
of residents
Some are known to
not-sleep
in their beds
(Stock footage: toxic seepage; traffic jams;
snow plows)
Re-
appear brightly, charm
accidentally, find victory mocking
the elderly and forgetting
similarity
Still, wheezing, remember, fundamentally
Every one is
pretty
much the same.
