A Good Lie
puce: I'll talk to him
me: you won't
but if you did
puce: I will!
me: what would you say?
puce: I would make up the best lie

I am rich, however, and do not care."
me: would you say this with an accent?
puce: DUH.

trimmed with white and
I never see it off your frame
but I know they’re there:
your Arms! your Shoulders!
those poor victims of tyranny!
they could see skies

birds and the night
When I wake up
I make sure to stock
my sleeves to the brim
with candy and napkins -
sugars to gorge on -
but we’ve got to keep it neat
and still give my heart
plenty of room
to hide itself
out in the open
but that’s what you like -
free food and room service -
and I’ve got no idea
how to dig myself out
of this pattern of giving
and yet still wondering
