remember when you were young
& all the boys
& all the girls
didn’t even talk to you
didn’t even look at you
snoring on the sofa
flickering the troll’s beautiful clothes through red yellow blue
with the right side of your mind
with the left side of you mind
picking fights with her ear drums
drifting over playground nightmares unicorns & sleep
in the year aaron kent died
they bullied me
decades earlier on a road trip to greece
you see yourself reflected on the surface of a lake
sorrow sixteen
