0. warmup

a whole ocean filled with floating paper masks
lies before you
and
a whole ocean filled with un-bodied refuge-seeking hands
lies behind
and
the land on which your feet find rest
is
slowly dipping in, saying:

you have been too comfortable
and that is not real life
and this is real life now

you do not even have to take the step
forward into oceans.
there is no step to take.
your ankle is in tepid water
and salt seeps into a cat scratch on your shin.

the people around you are swimming breaststrokes
between un-bodied hands and paper masks
and
their refrain is, "when did this become real life?"

"when did this become real life?"

water seeps between strands of your hair.
it is hard to think clearly anymore.
you can message me with anything: questions, review requests, rants
are you a green room knight yet?
have you read this week's Squills?
  








It's easier to come up with new stories than it is to finish the ones you already have. I think every author would feel that way.
