4/30 The Transformation
i’ve been as subtle as i can
my hair is so long, it almost fully covers my chest
soon shirts will be a thing of the past, unnecessary
i’ve taken precautions
tucking my ears behind my hair whenever possible
swear and spit and
but each day it gets harder to keep my feet on the ground
to walk across campus, when flying is so much faster
but waiting is easier when the end is in sight
and when it happens
when i get sick of knashing futility between my already whittled down teeth
i will bend my knees,
get a running start
jump
and breath mythology like i’ve been drowning for 21 years
