"Stand up, come here."
"Well, jeez just order me around, why don't you."
"Yeah, well, you better get used to that."

"I mean, it's only a Twix, right?"

I seem to be in an annoyingly consistent state of periphescence.

wish I could push    when push is needed
keep a distance long enough and let the salt set
there is a bitter-
nesslike in the corners of my mouth
that I lick when you are too close,
your sweet becomes the air around me,
your sweet, dear

it is so much to
bear
