Omnipotent
They attacked
my heart
with all their might
Don’t they know
I used superglue?
I want a boy chest
I can’t kiss the back of my neck.
Bring a ladder and maybe I could try.
God first made light and then invented hiding.
The first man probably fell in love with a cave.
You are more than one missing piece.
You are thirty-two teeth and a terrible laugh.
Every day my life finds a new window to jump through.
I love the gasoline sweetness of your throat.
You touch me like a rescue pup.
Baristautology
The barista knows my name
which is both flattering
and
embarrassing
She calls it out
with a weird mix of pity
and performance
like
“Oh, you again.”
I tip exactly
fifty cents
every day
in exchange
that the barista start calling me
“Coin Guy”
Today, I see
she wrote it
on the chalkboard
with a heart
