‘The Dry Erase Marker on My Pants Tells a Story’
I become raw around this time of year
My Clarks are starting to talk
I wake up an hour before my alarm
I see hands moving in the light reflecting through the windows
I see my breath in the shower
You can put a cutting in water and it will grow roots
But the roots don’t work when you plant them
I once saw my lover across the street
She looks like any stranger from far enough away
Trace the crumbs on the infinite saucer
The tiles like honey comb
I just want you to know how to calculate your lifestyle
You enter the building 20 minutes behind
Stop thinking faster than you listen
I got a miraculous welcome
I am the iron in the fireplace burnt and rusty
I am the marble eroded by 5,000 footsteps
Put a comma in the sky
It means you own something
