how to curate a stalker
first things first
this is not
for everyone you have
to have
quite a belly to
stomach it if you catch
the drift of them
then it gets
tough to let go
second things first be
authentic
and that means
all of you
but only in pieces
that cannot be fitted
back together,
like an eye
& hook, too
dangersome
a game for mice
and then
you can never tell
how
it all started
a slicing-edge away from
where you had even in-
tended to begin with this
mess
third things first you do, you
need a yes-yes-yes man
to temper the sensation of
when you see yourself
as a single blade of truth
in one single minute
we shared
reflected back
over a single order of
magnitude
what would it
have been
like if I had
lifted my hem
further exposing
my Victorian
anklet?
