dragonfly on a chain

on Sunday u cried when a girl named Chains
(it’s really Steph..but i like Chains..said she)
Chains with a booth in the park told you her
summer project is travelling coast to coast
sewing buttons+tears i sew tears anything
+everything torn bring me your patches
your sweaters your tumours
your
unwashed
masses

but Chains can u sew me back together? one fucked
scarecrow seen things better not to tell now every
year chattel to the big cancer buildings where shards
of me cling to parked cars +everyone greets me with
the warmest of hellos hey you don’t have to kill the
fucking dragonfly in order to breakthechains
now do you motherfuckers
or maybe u do..?
