I put on a tie today
Nonconforming
Nonbinary
Nonentity
Nobody
Sinking into
Comfy Cushions
Printed Paintings
Burnt Brew
And you
You are my characters, myself
Haunting
Every movement in my
Words, words, words
against this noise, noise, noise
clinking ice, milk and espresso
I am ready to start another chapter
Another scene
Another life
in Another Universe
One where I get to be me
I live in them:
The Coffee Shop Caricatures
of the truths I've never expressed
Likening love to inaction
Unconditional
I'll take a grande in a venti cup
Two napkins
To clean the spill
while I spill my guts
in Google Docs
For nobody to see
Just me
