she seems to step a million times
while I wait
slow ink
I've collected images
of wire and plastic for you
and by asking questions
I can find a million
different conversations
it's just a dull waiting now
buzz
I cut up pretty things
then tape them back together
and I laugh at all the funny faces
these wordless magazines
are just pornography
pretty animals fucking
with their clothes on
they're just people
just people like you
you have to see
understand
that when I look at you
I see someone I want to be
and I feel ashamed
that I'm so mediocre
alone, we're just people
but together, we are perfect.
