also, kickboxing


you are not here to put cherries in my mouth
or catch the seeds i slowly spit

my chest caves in on itself
when,

when i am anxious
i can feel my atoms vibrating apart
it
makes me think of men in black

before you say anything
write yourself a poem explaining why
you should not say anything

take your name out for a walk
to see why your feet are so close in the mirror

i am going places
to stay put

try to move me
make my knees buckle
make my fur cry
make every human being to come from my bloodline
stand up and shout random noises

we can't all be from other planets
we can't all be drake

repeat the punch
repeat the bleeding lip
crushed nose mash

stare at the stone wall in your basement
tell everyone on the other side
how much.
