Summary
I finally took the time to record some of my poems that I think were worth recording. They're old, but I like them. Let me know if you like them, too. words: You count smiles like scars, love to keep inventory of every object and every stare and you remember every person who has ever complimented you. You think they must see something you never can. You look for hours, analyzing freckles and follicles, seeking some magical mark that makes them like you. You look for a smile that they will like, and you count scars like stars like constellations of freckles and you wonder how many people inventory themselves like you. One nose, sensitive, two eyes, astigmatic, two lips, lightly used, arms, wrists, scars, scars, scars, twenty-four ribs, two breasts, one belly, two hips, two full thighs, you could stand to lose some weight, when are you going to work out again? Two knees, two calves, two feet, scars, scars, scars. Scars on wrists, scars on hips, scars on thighs, and scars on lips. There’s not a part of you that you haven’t hurt to see if it would bleed, there’s not a part of you that you haven’t made bleed. You used to start fights in school, used to pound your knuckles into something solid so you could feel the skin breaking with your heart, because at least then, you had a hurt that would heal.
