i    think    that    i
   might    be    dreaming;
someone    said    that    when
   you    die    in    your
sleep,    angels    carry    you
   to    heaven—

    is that why i have
that f
             a
    l
              l
   i
        n
           g

sensation when i go
to sleep at night

my words taste dry
and i imagine myself
with a red nose and
red cheeks all the
time because that's
what i look like when
i cry:

stick me on the fridge
like a magnet, i won't
let go

the law of attraction says
that likes attract but
i thought that everyone
said that opposites desire
each other; bodies so cold,
numb at the touch,

                     i know he's not in
          love with me but it
                               doesn't matter anymore

                                                                      taste
                                                                  my
                                                                     fingertips,
                                            don't
                                   they
                                                       remind
          you
                                                                    of
                   paint


                                    (i consist of art)

oh,
and art got
stolen from
me; the thieves
ran through my
art gallery and
stole my masterpiece

                they
    stole
               my
        sense

    i
      got
        myself
          in
            trouble
          and
        i'm
      so
    scared
of
    tuesday
      now;
        will
          they
        remember?
will they remember?

thief:
give
me
back
my
breath
