poetry for people

My Brain, as an Amusement Park

my pen 
as a mustache
striking
but not effective

paths trodden through grass
aren't always straight
sometimes
they're gay

what you're really tasting is the olive
oil and threadbare mascara
there are absolutely crumbs in my bed

what color am I
in this light
silky shadows stark
candles after dark

what's with the fences
hey this is mine mine
and that's yours lets
be separate
I’m not communist or whatever

twin salamanders play
nug strain roulette
farmed by gnomes
this isn't the fucking
jamboree

walking to dat beat
the suns out
and so are my dogs

tried to write homies and wrote homos
Freudian slip suggests what it will

they said pay whatever
so I paid homage to the stream

hate when I use a public toilet and I get OPP (other peoples piss) all over my
thoughts (thighs)

I can't get the music
loud enough
to drown out
what's eating
gilbert grape

Now I feel melancholy
bc we talked about grief
how it's a pool and a balloon
27 club birthday tycoon
I think I need to re-read that book about cognitive distortion

is it time to move along?
ALL AMERICAN REJECTS
push that button
eject

the point of my life is to me
what the clitoris is to men:
unreasonably hard to find

I only floss for the oral stimulation of it

So locked in I'm gripping the chair supports
with my bare toes

when I wished to be edged till I cried
this is NOT what I meant

Things I am currently coveting:
- ponds
- pretty dresses
- tea party
- brown line semi-permanent tattoos
- a bidet
- dinner party with Anthony Bourdain, Mac Miller, and Abraham Lincoln
- baby animals

If this is a prison
it's a beautiful one

My dad bought me my first geek bar
based

I'm so stoned
and
my hair's so long
and
my lungs are weak
but
my heart is strong

sure, blessed is the man who finds a wife, but more blessed is the wife who finds herself

if I was a doctor I would prescribe twerking- trauma is released though the hips, or at least that’s what the Queen ant on my blanket told me

we see what we want to see
and that's supposed to protect us?
