we can’t help who we are
not one of these things
can possibly have any meaning—
strings of words
like days into lifetimes
(strung out dead starlight)
what inconspicuous ligature
helps fortify these
bona fides?  

it’s hard not to talk so much
when they ask so many questions
and authentically seem to give a shit.

note to self:
ask more questions
and actually care
about lives other than
your own.

how can you still
be such an amateur?
we can’t help who we are
not one of these things
can possibly have any meaning.
