I hate driving
But every mile away from you felt good
And I finally started smiling
Without waiting for you to tell me that I could
California sunshine
Is as constant and as toxic as advertised
As I’m sliding
Through the hills everyone said I’d always climb.
And I need to hate you
Spout the words from a megaphone outside.
But my heart’s too infinite
And the damn thing’s made of twine.
I don’t know if we
Will be congealed again as friends.
Or if we will
Speak just once more as the earth
Descends.
Two bad options
For this imaginary weekend
Two more dollars
You will never spend.
Whole days with a dearth of you
Are devastatingly great and dim.
I’m learning now
What I looked like the first time I was a “him.”
If I knew
Who was next in line to hold my hand.
I’d stop breathing
Do a clumsy little cartwheel in the sand
You'll never understand
