Picture me Polis
Dare not picture me you
Cities from ashes
eschewed by those Delphian fumes
I bought a batch of botched grievances
with a finger on the pulse
yet never where the agreement is
Even when
pigeonholing serves to placate the pigeons
Chalk it up to our hospitable world
but its inhabitants battled escrow for avarice
to raise a generation
of kids who hate their mothers
and the psychotherapists still babble about Oedipus
Evidence
that we built our roads with stolen pavement

Dare not picture me you
Cities are falling

I would

and lungs and thoughts
tracing the outline of you
entangled with me
colliding like two lost particles
locked in a shared gravity
drifting through the vacuum
of space.
I could.
Exhale, and
remember
sentence structure.

when i was seven years old, a group of kids in my grade threw rocks at me for liking neopets more than webkinz. from then on, i was convinced i knew what hatred meant. but i don’t know how to describe it to the little girl who sits in the corner of my womb and in ten years might call me mommy and ask for help on dividing the world into black and white.
would i point to the churches with their bigotry? to the cotton fields of the south in the 1800s? to the classrooms of modern day america? would i tell her about how the jews stood in straight lines, waiting to die, with fear in their eyes and faith in their hearts? or would i try and de

I get myself together and actually go out. I go to see the New York Philharmonic perform the works of John Cage at Lincoln Center. I walk out during the second movement of 4'33". There's a very small difference between life and death. I walk home, my chin pulled down against my neck. I hum a constant note, providing myself with my own tinnitus.
