Saturn
After I do yoga I think
I am brand new!
I have big feet and I have
muscles and
bones and nails and
hair!
when I wake
up before you I
roll over and bring
my foot to your chest and
imagine you awake saying
woah! I guess this is the
real you!
the week I moved in
with you I was looking
at the sky
a lot to see Saturn
…if I’m gonna change I should
do it quick!
When we first met you
lied to me
about a few things
to make me like you
but that
is not a big deal
I want to go
backpacking
in Arizona lets
learn how to make our
own kimchi
we have the same dirt
under our
nails and the same
smoke in our
lungs the
week I moved in I
told you that my
highlights are fake and I can’t really
cook
I guess I just figured
you’d find out
eventually!
