I feel like 90s again
All tanned skin and a strawberry vest
Made of blue jeans
Uncertainty is my cleverest trip
The one wrought with signs
And cigarette butts across America
This journey is pointing to itself
A fallen fruit along a sidewalk
In Hollywood and I am saying
Pick me up in your shiny car
A tapestry of the desert is your mouth
I am the cavern roof and you
My chosen womb walls
This is a helicopter hovering overhead
Searching the ground for dollar signs
And the citizens are screaming
For ascension
I am your red jumper
Wishing I’d be stolen away
My passport is packed
I am a broad stroke
Prepared for nothing and ready, ready
For everything, on a cool day in LA
I am right here still standing
A network body in hoop earrings
Waiting on the sidewalk beside a red car
I am the dirtiest thing
My breasts are green
The sunset in my eyes is orange
I am not small in any ways
But there is a subtle ness to my spirit
An eastern sunrise in my smile
I am a bottle on the nightstand
A Leanard Cohen song stuck between my lips
About the Creator
