The Love Doll: Days 1 – 30
i drove a car for the first time
outside lena dunham’s parents’ country house
i felt the spirit of misguided guileless glorious girls
and all the cows in the valley were calling my name
i did good
you are all to thank
the only incident a near miss of baby lavender
your mom planted and will tend
with seaweed mulch
we bought for her
i liked doing something for her with you
when we’re not supposed to
in light of the
wejuststartedhangingoutandirea
schism
that i hope and maybe know
we sit the same side on
Instacart order #3123
what do i fucking care what gloria e. thinks of me?
do i not have the right to nitrous oxide
delivered to my door
if i tip well?
if i am honest
“anyone can ask me anything”
but i won’t let you read my sappy poetry
The Caretaker challenge
imagine never showing another person an empty bliss beyond this world
for their very first time
and falling asleep to it, manic dreaming of a pixie
crouched on the bed
unraveling threads
of the heart sewn on a yohji sleeve
luxe luxe luxe in a new duvet
i am a twenty-five-year-old divorcée!
who got the house in exchange for a continent
my room is so loud i never forget to live in the world
or play songs
or run far
or still end calls “i love you”
or love another
here’s a track that ends on a broken in half note beat
one to watch a tan line form and one to watch it fade
