Lock it (unlock it)

Maybe you can come up with something new

or maybe tweet the same three things every day

until a stranger comments, “Are you talking

to yrself?” I’m even younger than you were

in that photo you, yr twenty-ninth birthday,

cigarette hanging out of yr mouth & leather crown.

I swear this is the first time I’ve done this

(looked at yr Tumblr) in five long years.

It’s up to you what happens next.
