i want to feel calm determination in a hoody
i want to seem outwardly, the way i feel inwardly
after a cup of coffee or a ‘good nights sleep'
i want to swallow a blue sky and exhale
slowly, at ground level
i want to expand quietly together
at a steady, familiar pace
we can absorb stars and small birds
and internets
with a diet of dumpstered donuts and
american spirits and
iced soy lattes
we can dismantle our 'inner selves' and lie down
in soft gra**
gently
together
