i wanted noun


You verb past at me to pull over.
You wanted me to verb.
I was verb ing too fast, you verb,
so I slammed on the noun
and turned off the noun.
As I verb past outside
I verb ed to verb out of the noun
and verb,
verb until I verb ed person.
And yet I wanted to verb.
I wanted to verb to the noun.
I wanted to verb the cold sharp rocks
adj into my face
and adj my skin.
I wanted noun to feel noun again.
But you sat in the noun,
adj to the pl noun racing
through my body part,
to the nausea, to the noun %28ism%29 .
So I stood outside my NOUN,
feeling the condensation of my noun
roll past my noun in the wind.
It was a adj, adj reminder
that I still had to verb.





i wanted pain


You screamed at me to pull over.
You wanted me to stop.
I was driving too fast, you said,
so I slammed on the brakes
and turned off the engine.
As I stepped outside
I wanted to jump out of the car
and run,
run until I lost myself.
And yet I wanted to fall.
I wanted to fall to the ground.
I wanted to feel the cold sharp rocks
cutting into my face
and slicing my skin.
I wanted pain to feel good again.
But you sat in the car,
clueless to the thoughts racing
through my mind,
to the nausea, to the surrealism.
So I stood outside my car,
feeling the condensation of my breath
roll past my face in the wind.
It was a constant, nagging reminder
that I still had to breathe.
