From the Quiet Car

I DON’T WRITE A LOT OF PERSONAL POEMS ABOUT SUFFERING

I don’t suffer much.


BUT WHEREVER I AM

It’s always after five.


VAGINAL DISCHARGE MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE

Any kind of discharge, really.
Egest from any source.
But that’s about it.


THERE WAS A BLACK FRIDAY SALES EVENT GOING ON

But I wasn’t ready for my Black Friday savings.


I HAVE IDIOPATHIC PRESSURE 

To where if I knew this was my last cup of coffee ever
I would be so happy.


I’M DEEPLY WHITE

But I have Black rage.


THE IMPORTANCE OF TELLING STORIES TO UNDERSTAND WHO WE ARE

Fuck that. 
Stories tryna kill me.


CONCERTS, COUPS

Sometimes things get out of hand.
Open carry.
Open container. 
Open mic.


I’M IN THE GROUP CHAT?

What group chat?


I CAN’T GROUP CHAT

I’m officing in the quiet car.


I GUESS TODAY’S NOT MY DAY

It might be my day tomorrow.
