Its a wonder
how the heart learns to be okay with everything
all the things that so disgusted you as a child, are fine now really
what’s more you are a part of it now,
you’ve absorbed it all, year on year
into that skin of yours
it seeps at night
and simmers down in the day, so you dont know really
until you do.
But,
But,
somewhere
someone
some situation
opens up a portal
to this child
who stands against all that once disgusted us,
all that we thought was evil
let him come,
I will wait
until then
let me inhale smoke
with my iron lung.
