seventeen
My shape was slurring
It was raining outside
I wanted to be in harlem or something
Eating dragon fruit or kiwano
I had read bolaño and all i wanted was romantics
But harlem might as well have been a light year from here
The night was wet like a shanty
And tragic i thought like needing air
In my head i had membranes doctored with plastic
And wow, i could have cried
