me & familiarity
I’m less than I’ve ever been
an exercise of existence
after reading how german is it
hearing they bought & sold you
I quickly crossed the border
leaving way too many things behind
this new place isn’t so bad
[or so they keep telling me]
placating me with promises
plying me with
mind-altering substances
intelligently keeping me
one to three moves behind
april two thousand twenty-three
