that drunk text

i met someone tonight

the girlfriend of a dead boy

he studied Rydberg atoms
what are the chances

usually i’m ok
seven shots in
you live in my mind

those news articles
these hairline cracks
tear slipping temple

disillusioned today
yesterday too

did dropping out
set you free

i danced
all torque and tongue
would you care

not knowing
is a sick kind of shelter

i’m still struggling with TQEs

i went sailing today

longfellow bridge
distant like those times
we found it from below

how many times
did you cross it
alone

i’m ok
i’ll be ok
how dare you think
you mean so much to me

i hope you are well
i hope you are happy
you will be

i’m silly
i romanticize

but i’ll say it
i do miss you

some shape of me
misses
some shape of you

maybe i’ll build a startup
it’d be nice to talk
better if we don’t
