Hey, Stranger. How’s it going? (Megan Cannella)

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.
