Poem – Ryan Mills

I don’t know
I’ve got so much
Love
But especially when we talk

About the jeans

We’re wearing

I’ve got so much

Pictures hang on the wall

But won’t stay

In my head

& it comes as no surprise, then,
that I want to redescribe the way
Things are, & compete with this

I don’t know

Love

So I get to showering
