airtight conversational

letting you roam free
splitting our personalities

handing you that gun
remembering lost time under that sun

clearing throats before beginning sentences
using inaudible hand gestures for emphasis

peculiarities

sitting with my back to the gallows
heavily salted air flowing through my body
my plastic heart was consumed and swallowed
i hear your shrill voice from the pier, calling

circa

forever, continuously and endlessly controlling me.
you make me laugh in the face of atrocity

infinite regression

falling faster than i would have ever expected
back to the safety of the warm
falling in love with gravity
terminal velocity adorned

heavy handed

we'll exchange business documents
with a viral handshake

we'll expose our flaws in their entirety
with lurid dream transmission

we'll hide our demons
with our false facades

i'll rot in your neck
with a subtle grin
