raze
here
lies
a
blue
strip
of
plastic
i
tore
off
the
top
of
a
package
of
thermal
pants
three
days
in
the
rear_view_mirror
.
hook
built
into
its
body
.
temporary
tattoo
on
its
right
cheek. reminding
me
of
its
size
.
my
brain
keeps
trying
to
tell
me
it's
a
comb
when
i
look
at
it
without
my
glasses
on
.
some_small_joke
to
rub
my
face
in
the
knowledge
that
what
i
would
drag
through
the
teeth
of
a
thing
like
that
if
i
didn't
use
a
wide-bristled
brush
ain't
what
it
used
to
be
.
