you took me to the park, dressed as bears
to play a game, we walk along paths with creatures alike
there are many play stations around, each holding secrets to strategy
i catch wind that bears are dangerous creatures to play
most frightful, hated even
i start to slouch, we decide to leave
somewhere in there i lost my i.d.
whos driving?
exhaustion leads to
coffee
gives me shakes
makes you talk
then i cannot eat alone without wondering
if youre drawing pictures of
me
while i sleep
in front of you
in class
i failed the fill in
the blank
stares.
leave some of my dream memories to insert here.
fits a frame , two, inside a picture of a painting. it is only a silhouette.
the shape of the shoulders fits downward, crop.
it is a song.
hums to tickle the inside of my mouth,
which is really the strands of hair i place in knots above my head.
it sounds like silence, looks like me.
