blackbird
--
apparently there are 13 ways of looking at a blackbird
but when i look at you i can only do it in one way
in awe or love or something (everything is so foggy)
my heart skips
like a pebble across pond water
i love you so much my head hurts
I've read the entirety of this Tao Lin book
i want to draw you a picture
i want to draw us a life together
i want so much more than i have
i counted up the days since i've seen you up close
it's been 5 days and i can't see straight
i don't want to see anything but you in my bed, eyes closed in slumber
you are peaceful like a bird on a telephone wire
you are the horsehead nebula
you are the crab nebula
you are the littering of magnificence across the darkness
i want you in the back of my car
i want you in the rain
i want to record your heartbeat and let it lull me to sleep on the nights when
the air above gets too thick to breathe 
and my chest collapses
what does bath water feel like when two people share it
i want to know if you think im pretty with the lights on
i want to see you with the lights on
"i cannot believe we're doing this"
i can
i was never really surprised at the start.
