naps ranging from
3 a.m. to late noon
the same day
i’m in 11th grade once
more stuck in a corpse
with beard stubble and
& knowledge worth a
bachelor’s degree recreating
summer vacations before
2016 – Humid, Dry, Worn
perspiring
americana Summer if seasons
nevertheless subsist in quarantine
Bubble Boy on the T.V., a
hypochondriac, a
shred of toilet paper
abandoned on the seat
Charmin wings dyed
with a cough but
had leukemia
In the class of youth
that’s convinced our lungs
are healthy
enough
though, if you’d ask each
character of a slasher flick
if they think they’ll be alive
when credits take over the screen
they’d all say yes
but also inquire
why they are the movie
but –
but it’s eternally a trick question
expect to wither from germs
just in case
so you have your will ready for
grandpa to feel after your ash
spreading on the bank facing
east
