i stole a small ceramic angel from the danish restaurant on the i-5 to impress you
i feel like i should graze your soft earlobe like a with the palm of my thumb
or slash your face with the jagged edge of a broken craft beer bottle.
either way
i will achieve
the same
effect.

when a man raises his hand
to take a sip of water during a tv interview
i can tell what age he lost his virginity
i can tell what book he uses to impress people
i know what historical facts he has memorized:
“Ethiopia was the only African country to win a war against a European country during the Scramble for Africa. The European country was Italy, by the way.”
