Sometimes

sometimes when i'm thirty years old and not in school i can play games and not feel pain sometimes when people call my name i don't know what they're talking about sometimes when i'm on a stage in front of seventy thousand people i laugh and make a face and my nose starts bleeding and i fall to my knees and the audience is silent and there are never sirens sometimes when my hair is short approximately one inch long i cut it again within the same hour and clip my nails until they're gone and pluck my eyebrows one by one i promise i did not shave them off ...it's true and then i come out of the bathroom and everyone has gone to bed sometimes my eyes are two different colors and only i can see it unless i ask and they say they see it too, to make me feel better sometimes when i am an egg in a uterus i emit poison but it never does anything my mom just tells stories that she felt me kick a few times oh, she's sure of it and then she smiles as her teeth erode and the people genuinely laugh, that nice fake genuine laugh
