The End is Here by Jim Shaw
For the thousandth time
I am describing our arms
and how they are
the perfect length
A sad thing about mouths
is when they fit
another mouth
An irritating thing about honey
is that it is sweeter
than anything
you ever need to taste
A person can squeeze
into themselves
for near eternity
I imploded
millions of years ago
Joke’s on you
Idiot in love with a black hole
It’s not that my room
is the perfect place
It’s just that
it’s not that bad
You have made this place a home
A person can collapse
Inwardly as well:
the state of nothing
that you make me feel
Sometimes
it is good
to be alone
Other times
it is good
too
You Will Have A Gentle Night
My favorite part of sleeping
with someone:
Wading through the distance they throw at you
afterwards
It takes weeks to get back
You act like you didn’t just
lose your fucking mind
You tell yourself
girl don’t worry;
Similarly to Big Sean
you don’t give a fuck
I will remind you again
Kissing is not for me
in the mornings
Goodbye is best to say
after you’ve finished
touching
We all cycle through
the same four emotions
because we refuse to admit
sometimes
the choices we make
are the wrong ones
