Let Go, Let Go

And I begin to inhale as my eyes droop like sausages in the wind, as my temples tremble like hypothermia and first date knees,

my nose drips with contempt,
my nails, bloody murder with coins as my cuticles scrape the sandpaper tabletop.
must they bicker screech why screech why, and, bother bother bother,
must they screech, screech why screech why,
why why why.

they say it’s time to let go.
let go let go let go let go let go let go let go let go.
must they! and bother bother bother
ah they say, let go let go
fuck they say, and the sausages hit the floor

fingers break like salad, toss and prepare
my clench release and I begin to exhale
