though i try to stay

fast

on my fingers

and

on my feet

sometimes i'm swallowed by couches.

though i try to say

i

will get married

and

set up cribs

sometimes i want to be selfish.

though i think i'm brave

for

leaving young

and

being free

sometimes i want to go home.

though i can maintain

a

friendly smile

and

firm handshake

your politics want my vomit.

sometimes i sneeze words

and

subsequently

consequently

constantly

scatter my inanity
