tender_square put a stick up your ass and rise above
the opaque shuffling bodies that grip you.
it’s better to be a transparent entity,
all sparkle mesh and stiffened tissue paper
lined with starlight. incandescent in dusk.
wouldn’t you rather be keen than be numb?
surf the crowd of revelers and let them
examine your innards even when they
don’t understand. you’re a little teapot,
short and stout; love is what pours out your spout.
that’s how he found you; that’s how you’ll keep him.
