Tonight is the new moon
Last night
a sleepless hot cold
with legs crossed on the floor
beside the glaring laptop
My eyes are spot-
light wide
from talking to Shy on the phone
at three in the morning
and saying
'that's funny'
'that's sad' or 'that's
pretty'
to indicate
my emotional responses
to stories abt Philadelphia
Vince Staples is driving
me insane
5 of his songs are in my phone
When they play
through earbuds
in the hallway
the world is an art house
horror movie
The world is a vampire
The new moon is tonight
