you shut your mouth
2017-03-30 8:07 p.m.

it is a bad idea, they said.
to cut your own hair.
or walk home alone after dark.
your soft bones are stitched together.
there are contaminants in your tap water.
it's something you don't want to think about
but you think think think on it
and inhale hurried heat
until this comes to reside permanently
unborn in your chest
waiting for a pulse
or a flatline.
