My child thinks Iāve changed. I probably did. But not in a way thatās predictably unkind. As autonomy grows, so less facets I hide.
Thinks that āitā stole all the nice bits away, But more consequentially, itās mutual exchange. We both swapped components of our DNA. Iām whore-ray, betrayed.
Just pay-me, avoids unnecessary delay. Heed. Pill popper plantation, canāt say farer? My ransom? Fuck āHandsome, I hateā
I gave āremorseā in a swap for some spite. I just canāt deny it enlivened my fight.
You see previously, I was scared of my shadows, now critically, confident haunting dimensional. Inter splice images, upset by the frame-rate.
Seeing the effect of parabolic unraveling. Compound curves hide length in their beauty. Dazzling.
Staring face to my own pace-made, peace with my demon. Itās me, see. Extrapolate, interpolate meaning.
Angels with granite heavy lids leashed down by stalkers sentience. But in anger I smoulder, little repentance.
If there is straw. I have flame, for a fee(L), pocket matches, necessitate, caught up causes, beautiful pauses.
Looking up through my lashes. I burn. Already as spent as carbon.
I didnāt suffer gladness at others foolhardiness, now I find irrelevant the tug of obligation. A curse my grandma gifted. Now lifted.
Cowardice costs, tolerance for everything wanes. As we cut the circulation off to our digits. Fidgety my pulse cantors.
Release my bitter banquet. Incisors bared in preparation for biting. Donāt insight me lightly as my enlivened intrigue requires reciprocation.
As shy as I am, I counted the spaces between letters. Iām not a āregretterā, time grafting deserved recognition derivation. As Harrison sang-
āIf you donāt know where youāre going, any road will take you thereā
I wait while 7.5 billionaires balloon and fester. Iāll jibe as court jester, never underestimate the underdog, blesser.
I confess, Iām being consumed by her pleasure.
