These Memories Are Not Machine Washable
Things that aren’t machine washable:
10pm dollar microwave burritos,
10am breakfast burritos,
Talks of elephant tattoos,
Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food,
Tracing the lines of his seagull tattoo, trickling to
A Philippians verse and guitar on his forearms,
Wool-like brushes against my cheek,
Kamel Red smoke trapped in his nimbus beard,
Kissing him anyway,
The story of six--seventeen past lips,
My three—no--four,
That I was pretty, unusually incredible,
But his depression and the grip of his ex
Taking him to all the places he shouldn’t go.
Nightmares of prettier, skinnier women at his side,
Apathy as he curled his seagull arm around them,
Wondering when I was just a tally-mark.
