you & your mother were asleep in the trailer park

sometimes I need to sit back and take in another person's devastation
to visit the bittersweet but only in transit

placing the ambient darkness of Me into a bag that I can
hold rolled in my hand until the album scratches, over.

Here is a list of people I have thought I was [you will find my name absent]:
Anne Frank
Ava Gardner
Erwin Schrodinger
Eurydice
Franny
Jesus Christ
Kurt Cobain
Marilyn Monroe
Orion Escher Redinger, unfortunately lost to chance


my father


the drugs told me I was literally all of them
Truth showed me they are everyone and so am I

but who is she more than me?
