you're sitting on the porch.
i leave on the bus,
stare out the windows until it pulls to a stop.
i buy a quart,
and when i return
you're still there
sitting on the porch,
looking ahead at what looks like
nothing in particular but
i know that isn't the case.
the neighbours across the street
moved away after
their daughter passed.
it was called a "terrible bloody accident"
but we all know that it was no accident.
people don't make those sort of mistakes.
i don't really remember her, just the way
she walked around with the sway of her body saying
"i'm a virgin, call me mary."
i felt bad being un-phased by her death

would you stay?
but in the end
you and people
don't mix,
much like oil and water.
in the end

i am the complicated,
sophisticated,
deeply intricate, and wholly-knowing
lord of culture
basking in the luscious streams of the colour spectrum.
there is truth in my body, regally personified.
it is a truth that was so foreign to you
and though your eyes were wide open,
i doubt you saw anything at all.

did you know?
metamorphosis is the answer to everything.
