Love Begins Off the Record
Be memorial. Make this
drawn, a digital layout,
make outs, anime stills &
the phone shots of that
snakeskin, stickshaped
in the sand off our
riverwalk & my hand
around your hand around
candle waxwet in her hand
drawn again, bad, with a snake
head bc... I sought clout
see so horologically I knew
the way to identify he (but do
u?) – hint: it’ll be about a a
a week after we started up
but all the drugs blur the
timeline and Michael is a
very common name, &
men & isles & saints &
so on & on so u would
n’t quite know would u
if my love began in the
late or early part of the
month made by diary
marks my love being
the one! 2nd or one
later – indistinguishable.
