Little rule of
Thumb
Flailing and failing
Magnetic Depolarization
Because she
Was right
About
Us.
In my chest
Lies silent protest
Through glinting green
Eyes that
Seared their way onto
My consciousnesses like
An old computer
Screen. Strength
Surges through
My jeans, my skin
As I stare through
Glass, Through
You, Through
Those pants
And with my
Few moments of
God given power
I feel things
Aren’t as complicated
As I thought them
To Be.
