staircase
raze
you've
made
a
mess
of
these
pants
and
too
many
shirts
to
keep
track
of
.
you
used
to
shred
everything
that
bordered
my
left
shoulder
blade
,
until
i
took
the
wall
out
of
the
equation
and
started
punching
the
carpet
to
ease
my
ass
down
onto
the
floor
.
i
can't
patch
this
pair
of
jeans
fast
enough
to
keep
up
with
all
the
clefts forming
in
the
denim.
some
of
it's
age
,
i
know
.
but
most
of
it's
you
.
if
i
could
take
these
turns
like
a
normal
human
being
,
we
wouldn't
be
having
this
conversation
.
after
fifteen
years
,
i
still
don't
know
how
to
fight
past
the
fear
you
and
your
kind
have
cut
into
my
brain
.
