i don't want to fear

if i can breathe under water

By ⸘jason alan‽Published 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

found with raw data,

a familiar, liminal little thing:

a basicly trained animal,

the new new-to-you.

this road leads to nowhere.

i can't guess the times

he was always right.

i love that for you, he said.

need you to believe in

so i won't have to.

auto-stunning grunt work

on top of glass domes,

he wants me more.

see the important things here.

just a dot-gen-illenialism.

how do you control?

nobody really gives all of it up,

but some of us will trade.

never say it out loud

tell me where your garden is

not mutually exclusive.

seas of unintimacy.

are any of us home anymore?

when i hear i love you-

i don't want to fear

if i can breathe under water.
