— if you see 111 1111 222
every time you look at your phone
at 111 1111 222 o’clock
— if you have a bruise
on your left knee
from a childhood fall
— if you like the colour red
the colour blue
the colour pink
any colour
— if you saw a car pass by
when you crossed
the road this morning
— if your person’s name
starts with any letter
of the alphabet
love is not a Pandora’s box
there are no disasters
you will not be plagued
for the rest of your life
if the ocean hits it’ll do
nothing but caress
the frame of your feet
what is the point of these
dramatics all the angels
are fast asleep or getting
drunk with the devil
they take a two month
vacation after Christmas
what do you mean
you’re waiting
you are divine
fuck timing
just text her
