shine like two supernovas,/
don’t Photoshop them.

Did the celebrants/
choose the event location/
to describe her looks?
Two friends
now stand at the same door
I had once entered
and exited, before.
One is heading out.
One might go in.
One is fleeing darkness.
One might embrace sin.
She who is leaving,
(as I also learned,)
knows the folly of entering;
knows evil should be spurned.
I will weep for joy as the one comes out,
and cry in anguish ‘til the other turns about.

words unbounded, thoughts released,/
passions unfettered.
Why would I want to/
write about an event I’m/
trying to avoid?
The pain of hearing/
her self-deprecate lessens/
when you know she’s wrong.
He offered to change/
her life. Don’t eat Doritos;/
munch on Davidos.
Every vision of/
her beauty makes my stomach /
capture butterflies.
