Let me let go
Of all the things I
think I know:
Which yogurt is healthiest.
Which apple is organic.
When it's time to 'Keep Calm...'
and at which headlines to PANIC.
Who is likely not worth my time.
And which clothes I'll need to purchase,
So people who are worth my time
will see that I am worth it.
Which stains I'll need to cover.
Which assets I should frame,
Boldface, highlight, replay
for a chance to win this game.
Which stiff drinks to mix up
When pretending I am fun.
How to fake-laugh, side-glance
instead of begging you, please come.
How non-smart I am.
What a loser I have been.
All the normalness I'm missing.
all the grossness within.
How I drip in the sun.
Sneeze out farts and make shit.
How I don't feel organic, calm,
worth loving—worth any of it.
*
before i start,
just
let me let go
of all the things
I think
i know.
