Smile

My smile is your smile. Your smile is my smile.
I am my smile so I smile. Is this your first time?
You seem nice. You look nice.

I think about licking the salt off your skin. Then I think about the low sodium turkey that’s dry. Then I think about licking the slicer on auto, to just slice a thin layer off my tongue.

Are you comfortable? No?
Are you female? No?
Are you feminine? No?
Ok good. God. good.
It is what it is.

Meat is meat. Sit, sext, sigh.

Sometimes, I bring ham into the bathroom and cover my face with
a slice of ham, I am a product in beauty that exfoliates my pores and eliminates my blemishes and masks my insecurities.

I hide in the ham, I am wrapping myself in its folds, draped across my predisposed skin. Sadness sags beneath my eyes. Velvet hands me ham I am, then outline my flaws in black.

So that’s unique. I’m unique. Do you think I’m special?
They do look deflated like balls you’re right.

Small talk

She dipped me like a DQ dilly bar.
Ma’am is this product gluten free and fat free?
How do you stay so thin? 

Jack Johnson interrupts
I force another smile
I wish my teeth were whiter
blowing pink bubbles of positivity
Dumping sprinkles on other kids dreams
Yes definitely, we are better off
together 

How’s it going?
Oh pretty good
I’m doing good
I’m good
A little tired but good
It’s good
It’s going good
It’s all good
I’m good. 

Scrolling down
into purse full of cellophane
Making banana pancakes
until it’s all just
surface mist
