Ginkgo biloba,
Pocket cuddle pleasurecraft.
Bro, her disquiet.
Levadopa pill,
Pupils flash distress signal;
My clone is horny.
My ancestors were
Human traffickers, then priests,
and then whale watchers.
Doctors diagnose
Anxiety when really
They want to kill you.
2
Toyota is a
Shining city in Japan;
Five-buck dick rating.
“Bimbofication
Now,” you said, and they all clapped:
Torpedo nipples.
I’m liquidating
Everyone in my life:
The Diet of Worms.
Curious-hair girl,
The world loves magic women
Passed out on tables.
Switzerland is where
Humans go traffic themselves,
My mother told me.
3
I rinsed your air cells
Before cocainization:
Smiles forever free.
Equilibrium
Of high energy, low health:
Accept all cookies.
Between glass stairs and
Fedora is a white rope;
Hidden manna chest.
You hissed ‘Jurassic’
When you chugged the seed and yakked;
Spunky gecko.
We agreed on my
Punishment, a death sentence:
Staying friends till hell.
4
You love my Twitter
Suicide ideation:
Account death-wish.
Don’t give me bad looks.
I need to have a normal
One or we all die.
I’ll lance a ski pole
Through my sphenoid sinus hole
Due to depression.
You shot me in the
Face and I got mad, but you
Just wanted to help.
5
Voters supped on by
Cerebral mycotoxins:
You are so my people!
My secret weapon
Is performed insanity:
Unintentional.
6
Your ancestor was
Sold down the Volga River:
You’re my oldest friend.
Can’t you understand
I don’t fit under the sun?
Tar-black oxygen.
Let’s sleep under the
Glitchy vaporwave sky:
Beaky albatross.
We’ll hide in nectars
Of neurotransmitters of
Shame at childhood homes.
We’ll send each other
Fire emojis back and forth
Endlessly till death.
