Mind the Gap

 

I feel better already

It's hard to offer up something you love for judgement 

Ten months a year 

When I think I am too tired to carry on I drive 40 minutes upward and ski laps in the snow

He putts CGI greens and I'm chewing 

on a chocolate protein bar 

He washes a mug, a bowl, and spoon, just the way my breakfast needs them 

That is a kind of knowing I didn't know existed 

When it comes to sexualizing men, I could argue either way 

In the sunshine white shirt black eyes 

Good at predicting things 

I wish I could stop caring about being assessed 

Maybe that's partly what the practice is for 

Pick Thai obviously medium spice steam the tofu tip higher and higher again when she protests 

The only positive consent violation = tipping really well 

Putt putt mother effer 

Up to six feet, some say 

I'm going to float the river assholes 

Come on, let's be a little daring

Whiskey fruit

 

I didn't do it on purpose, but I knew I was doing it. 

I tried to get him to like me. 

Pursed octogenarian lips thick fumbling fingers

My youth sits alone in the waiting room 

Maybe you should get up and make it yourself 

I ask for another favor

They're eager to drain us of blood 

I wish I wasn't so good at embodying what I'm not 

We didn't get invited to the wedding

Why are you together if you don't believe in it 

I never thought I would. 

II. 

Why? Because when I run the blossoms are chin height

I breathe hard, inhaling them 

Now I'll walk those same streets with my dog 

Honestly I'm not ranked or free

I've never been able to skate 

Prepare to eat your shorts for lunch 

Can you fucking believe that I learned how to ski
