Slap Me in the Face and Send Me Singing
just wandering around mindlessly
because I didn’t sleep enough
last night but the three cups of coffee
prop me up like a three legged
wobbly stool bobbling
and I swear if anyone says anything
normal my skin will crack open
because it’s so goddamn dry in the winter
here and of course not because
there is this burning light waiting to get out
that is buried underneath the surface
of this costume I have so carefully curated
like every good adult does growing up
