Patchy

hair has

grown in

strange places,

strange new

ways, and he's

not a werewolf,

because that's

a made-up story,

but a real

monster just

the same

Reserve

I held

inside me all

those emotions,

bottled,

until they came

spilling, then

flushed and rushed

for a mop

to clean up

my own mess

Extraction

I'm the rotten

tooth in the back

of your mouth

that you know

that you know has

a cavity, a little

aching pain, chipped

spot that has grown

over time, and you're

thinking

damn I need to pull

that out

Hermes

call me Hermes,

put a little cloth

on my sensitive

places, let me 

run for you,

but just know

I'll drop all your

stuff, mix your

messages, and

do it on purpose
