buttercream peach

on the train
I remember

across the street
from my grandmother
lived two orphans

I once made them a salad
and told them
about my computer

I knew how to make things
appear on screens

I felt like

a demigod

for the abandoned

by parents
and broadband

when I got bored
of the worship
I hid in the curtains

their colour

buttercream

peach

back then

my attachment style
was coming along nicely

nowadays

I think exclusively
in streams
of unconscious rambles

I say whatever
comes to mind

then examine
what I've passed

there I am again

in self-excrement

seeking self-knowledge
is almost dignified

I'm thinking
about a very specific lover

whose surprise at the world
renewed itself
overnight

and somehow
so did I

he ran his hand
across my skin

mesmerised
by the colour

buttercream

peach

he did also once
put his penis
into a white bread loaf

so there's that

I like being seen
into being

yet

self-analysis
will suffice

I like my thoughts
untouched
by other hands

yet

there are worse ways
to pass through
a person

It's entirely possible
that I am
a sorely abundant loser

It's entirely possible
that the highly victorious
are amongst
the abundance of loss

I have always liked
colours that sound
like something
you could swallow

buttercream

peach

there I am
again
