today i m feeling lowercase
no capitals
no declarations
no exclamations
just me on this trembling ball
scrolling past men in high places
stealing the future
by the pounce
on highway 4
commuters philosophize
alternate endings
in their little metal boxes
at the grocery store
a woman in a red coat
is carrying 3 oranges
like the world might be saved
by something round & juicy
today i m lowercase
i want the sky to forget my name
i want the shadows to devour my flesh
i m tired of speaking
into ears that are disconnected
it s 84 degrees
the sun won t leave me alone
so i keep sweating the little things
my unimportant name
my pocketful of wishes
my heart
