let me give you half bad poetry mildly therapeutically

words by Marie Kinderman

i can’t believe
i was one of those
eye-batting freakstorms
come hither boy aren’t i gorgeous
when i can’t even
show o$ my ittie bitties
be a grown ass missie
oh that was high school
let me give you
half bad poetry
mildly therapeutically
show you
i grew up better than
chapped lips picked skin
pining for patagonia boy
what is it about outdoorsy
that makes me shiver
more than rainstorms where
people eat each other
like they’re dinner
i can’t with the visuals
to sum this one up
let me be gifted and boring
i abhor my ambivalence
