I worry 'bout
everything:
My mom, her ailing body
and her mind that hides
behind her eyes.
I've known her
nearly twenty-eight years
and I can't just start
playing peek-a-boo
now.
Money, I don't have much.
And it doesn't mean much,
until you don't have any.
I'm going to drown
in a victory that lacks
everything you attribute
to success.
We're gonna get better. And at some point
I will finish this poem, too.
Romance by chance
is a cancer.
Eat my heart
as we are all cannibals
in love with consuming each other.
