​Catch Business

Mula Baby
sitting in an airport waiting for love
getting attention but not enough
there are so many shoes between stalls
like who cares where i’m going
i’m sorry i fell for you that day the day was balmy
before realizing i needed intimacy in every relationship
you’ve always been a great friend i hope you know that
i’m sure you know that
you’re texting someone right now while i wait
the plane pulls up to terminal c gate 28
there are a dozen books in my bag
i feel the book i won’t give to you
earlier i ate some kind of grilled cheese with a fork
i bought a second drink
i’m trying to stop drinking and save money
wearing an outfit i’m ashamed of
what do you think about me
crowds surrounding me
confident alone typing this into my phone
standing on the wrong side of the counter
everyone is confused i swear
to whatever god you worship i’m the most
Bad Luck
i just want the chance to get to know you before one of us dies
these unresolved feelings will live in me forever if you die first

floating teeth
aloe vera tears

when i hit the bong twice
i know what drowning feels like

i’ll probably end up with a chef
or something

intrinsically lonely
we take care of each other

undoing
influence

sudden impact
without wanting

screens and thumbs
screens and thumbs

touch screen
touch me please

if you were a band-aid
i’d let you soak with shower water

slow poison laughing wholeheartedly
you welcome me

before boarding my flight
i stand in the stalls with my pants down

not as immediately as the scent of men
the scent of women disgusts me

i haven't fucked another woman in a decade
i can't help my imagination even with my hands

you have to
get used to
your old voice
as the current
representation
of self
delay is inevitable
desire

i’m at ease
acting like
i don’t know
turbulence
my fate
i think
