Confession

I love naked pictures of celebrities. To me they’re some of the most riveting images you can find on the internet. Even if you’ve seen the person naked in a movie, seeing them from a regular-person angle still gives you that jolt of recognition, as if they’re someone you know.

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Long Drive East

In the mornings I touch my face, massage lotion, think of the rough
& jaw crooked, patched cheek—I’m Oklahoma burning March 6th
cattle singed, walking out of my hooves—I’m the borrowed rifle
& the end of whinnying—sleeping one man’s form from the exit
field—it’s my instinct to put someone between the door & me

The next day, like anyone, I spend stoned—at home & then the fire
OK, the escape—my view of the street tree-blocked—I’m a single car
on the expressway expanding like dimpled skin, mostly flat, slipped 
through like a nipple & a needle—my heart a big gulp in the cupholder
pig & flag—if nothing else, I thought, I would know America

I fall asleep for three years, wake up, / & take a walk around the block, 
R writes—& the city turns over in its ketamine dream—like a semi
groans & rolls into a snowbank—a girl at work has cartilage replaced
around a mouth I almost find alluring—another hour pleasantly
murdered—the country disappears as I doze & drive through it

“I walk through my twenties” by ??

without you

It’s a weird feeling

Or in the passenger seat
with no driver

There’s almost nothing
Half meals on the table

bread and salad
Certain friends

identify me incompletely

in a piled field
of cut straw

Hey I’m still talking to you

but my hair and nails
keep growing

I found a picture of this poem on my computer but I don’t remember the name of the book or the author. Plz message me if you know it
