Experimenting

Oh, tie your tongue

left side, right side, four leaves

lie. lie. lie. lie. lie. lie. lie. lie.

procreate your knowledge 

staple your eye lids shut, you pretty little number

dance dance dance until 9 o’clock 

water rushing down the sides of your mouth

pinch yourself, you are drifting through 

Ireland’s greens, Jack’s frost, and childhood memories

tell me you love me

count to three

‘one two three’

highlight this:

I have fallen in love with the world

in forty-five seconds time

I have thought about rape and murder 

I have thought about men and dogs

I idealize the idea of being stuck in time 

or dying of a cruel accident

I wave to people I don’t know 

and kiss the ones I do

I have shared secrets and stories to a single person that I haven’t yet met

and I have fallen in love with the world

in forty-five seconds time
