KERRIE’D EVERYTHING ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO START A NEW LIFE
Distortion: Negation
Language is illness.
Transformed into space.
And confined to the page.
ImperfectionS giving birth to a ripple of line
she never meAnt to hurt you
but she waNts to get in trouble
she’s interesteD in the layers
but she Promised to wish she’d never come to art school
she Adores writing it out
but she’d Prefer see you fail
she hate’s being alonE
but she’ll cry in fRont of you if you wait long enough
Feedback
Internet stale as bricks.
Leaves hard like tricycles.
“You be the yard and I’ll be its grass.”
