If I describe you long enough,
you disappear.
I wonder what you ate after we broke up
If you are making vegetables
in your instapot, you can go straight to hell.
I wonder if you thought of me so much
that I started to get
fuzzy
in you mind’s eye
Have you washed my memory so much
That I am
dull
and pilly
like clothes washed too many times with THAT OTH-er LAUNDRY DETERGENT
?
I am peeling you off of the lint trap.
