..its the pimples that i’m mesmerized by
eyes
transfixed by frozen youth
impervious now
to facewash and scolded backlash
and creams
that vanish little embarrassments
because thats how you were meant
to feel bad
not
this
nightmare of blue uniformed
revisionism
not
this
imagination of futures
now a frozen lie
like a jordan convincing us all
that we too can fly
not this.
