hair today gone tomorrow
we talked and talked about girlhooddreams +brittlerealities
as salt+pepper gnarl fell to the floor at our feet 66 +43
she shearing me ✂️
she asked about our customs now watching a jewish matchmaker
show also about my arranged marriage to numero uno it was
not brief a decade of ruin +grief
we talked too about virginhood + shattered cherrydreams about
that thing that goes rigid +stands at attention who knew? both
with 3 bros but neither had penis-envy Dr. Freud
she middle-aged me entering my dotage wastrel+lean a meanmachine
both still looking for that specialsauce a deeper well a holier grail
she: with swiping right there really isn’t a sense of rejection anymore
you just move onto the next potential date do u know what ghosting is?
me: why yes I do! and soon I will be a ghost 👻
for real
