it’s funny

how laughing

can often sound

like

choking
&
can be mistaken for
injured birds
if u don’t listen close enough

yesterday i got to see the
mountain goats
& u didn’t

why does it always rain on leeds?

is it because
as i stood in line
to see john
i felt two crows
inside me shriek

& unfold their wings
one was ugly and smug
& the other just

happy not to

see yr face
and have to miss u the entire
night?

mountain goats
& u?
