My story told the same
way, except this way,
seam reverse stitched and still
same, is there, with error
what wrought, do {do not}
think, I ought naught, push
passed with manic madness,
killing orphan{phrase}, lodged
in deep pockets, spits back, with error
whatever was still there.
The rough thought, thought slinky,
except this way, spit back, press back
special, need, kick, push, hide, crunch.
The bruised feeling sticks tasty,
tongue loose to it, too fat to fit,
much space needed for me to pass.
Sponsor this, life attractive, no longer
remember it, misfit, miss phat, unclean
parade, too old for that now.
Ill I feel.
All over, yes, ma’am, my fake is real,
most times, more real than my truth.
Traitor parade, let it be more than, my friends.
There comes the false mirror, pretense
makes it count, cure relevant to united
founts, not coexistent, not dependent,
on me.
It hovers; I will know when it’s over,
much how the stitch holds
the rain, taming this garment.
Its 4am in the body, and the brain
self cleans; appliance lady, what
can’t be compared to {a} machine?
