flask

mister Flask,


we've weaved ourselves perfect and can't lift a finger, yearning for a jump-scare but too tired to care,


until you come along and dare us to be,

through sarcasm that stumbles in so suddenly-


at that moment, this rawness in the crease of your eye reveals itself on the sly through a trivial joke,

exposing the two inch carpet stuck to the floor.


your self-mockery breaks the ventilation system,

layers of cotton spew out from cracks in the wall,

our seats are on the floor


now i think it doesn't matter what happens after that


it's like, you're so real

i think we all need that


we all really need that.
