Fascination Hallucination
I open up
spill out the sea
with it all the lies
and all the fake leads
float in
sand castles flattened by heavy boots
slide down as I erode
under your fist
I long to be crushed by something larger
than a tidal wave of goodbyes
and the flaccid vacancy of hellos
We’ve succumbed to the Netflix gods
they seduce us with their series upon series
I’ve yet to feel anything
even if it’s a pin prick
When I feel something other than numbing delight
I’ll be sure to call you in –
to share this fascinating hallucination
if it takes you over
we can plug the holes of our treachery
with our stubbed toes
our tears
and our ripped $2 bill
each torn half tucked into our wallets
centuries ago
written in black marker on each:
when all hell breaks loose
tape here
