have you ever
2025-05-09
i felt lonely in a crowded room and crowded in a lonely space
i did right when i was wronged and i did wrong when i was right
i took a left to go right and took a right to go left
where did i go who did i see
did what i touch stick its memory
kissed my feet
granted wish
reel
new breath
who’s there
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
sit long enough
have you ever seen a yellow cloud
white sun
have you ever seen through the hues
missed all the clues
blew all the fumes
chewed less than you’re supposed to
then feel sorry and chew extra more to make up for the unchewed piece
now you’re about to piss
have you ever walked the ether
have you ever thanked a trash bin
have you ever kissed the sun
smiled at the moon
not laugh while the moon witnessed
smiled at it
played with it
have you ever lived
have you ever lived
have you ever lived
have you ever lived
have you ever lived
have you ever lived
how do you want to read?
poems can unravel themselves as you read, line by line, at a considered pace — or just sit there, fully visible, like normal.
change this anytime — look for “reading: …” near the top of any poem.
