Poem

My rent-a-friend held my vindicated words in 1 condescending song,
An exacerbated flick of her tongue, in the power of 2

They latched onto the breathlessness of 3 escaping dolphins
As they beg for release unto 4 virgin soliloquies

5 wishes for the return of my rent-a-friend
Because they left without leaving 6 comments on my vulnerable bloodstain.

So, I wrote them off like 7 hidden tax burdens.

I let their door hit me 8 ways to Moscow on the way out
But, I felt fine for 9 minutes.

10 lords-a-leaping off their encrypted facade

Their kiss did not bring me to the power of 11
Like it did 12 seconds ago

Friday the 13th was our anniversary,
Another name for February 14th

“15 ways to be a good pal”, declares social media
Until they judge with 16 lashes, when perspectives fail

17 prayers to a god that didn’t rank highly on Wikipedia,
I’m the 18th rejected apostle whose horn was snatched by cashmere heathens

19 breaths to reach for better days.

20 was the max.
