Erratical, Fanatical

you keep repeating
the same phrase
over
and
over
like I’m not
“getting it”


you keep denying
as I keep providing
a reasonable escape
a kaleidoscopic phase

break that down
beat beat beat
breakdown

know your place
do not step out of line
outline


follow those unwritten rules
tell him STOP
Oops, too late

rape rape rape
chk chk chk
!!!

modern malaise
heartbroken days
every day

under
stand

M
E

“it’s not easy”
“it’s too easy”
