new gruesome

a new kind of blue:
somewhat bitter, angry
and spinning out of orbit
on an axis i have never known
anything about. with things
like hair, and a face, and
stuff like that.

a new kind of beautiful:
somewhat set, almost moody
or maybe something else entirely.
ego or confidence or what’s-
the-what. she’s got
hair, and a face, and
stuff like that.

this is the new gruesome:
this is the new way to waste your
brainpower and think too much.
here is how you might learn better
to obsess. just try to find someone
as fucked up and lovely as yourself,
and you’ll be fine forevermore. someone
with hair, and a face, and
stuff like that.
