you keep popping up in my words
and in the way i turn my head downwards
halfway through the period because i absolutely
cannot bear to read about oxidation states any longer
and i must begin to doodle in my minds singeing
the edges of all that i've learnt with all that i know
thats where i find you
on the roof of my mouth after chewing and the skin on the
side of my hand in the way that i rub my wrists together
when i am nervous
i am at a loss for all the names to my body parts today
and i even had to check for where my birthmarks were
as if i was distanced from the whole in which we live
