Familiar Spirits

I prefer to be the stranger
It’s easier to explain away my eccentricities as rudeness, stranger
to fact all the fictions and gossips as possible
yes, I am sick
Yes, I am impossible
In the macro view

In the microverse
Where everything is me
And everything is you
I’m in love
I’m in love
I’m in love

Hows and Lows

How do you do
Tinny through the submarine smile
I answer
In morse code
Taps of teeth and sound
Whole sentences form
I’m drowning
Downstairs
Pretending I am well
Because you will only have me
Well
But she reads it as
Fine, I’m fine
