accomplished

Graphic by Kayleigh Woltal

sit on the porch and
let the popsicle from my hand
			drip
to create something 
new for the ants to 
triumph over as i 
lick 
endlessly
to satisfy 		myself 
as well

lets grab the paper & pencil
from the table because
(youknow) i can[’t] do this by 		myself 
and learn to draw new shapes:

ill connect.–	–.the.– 		–dots.
if you just	 draw 	them 	there
for me

(youknow) there are a thousand of stars 
staring at 		 me
once i walk out 	
that door 
and i know that 		
you see them too
so why don’t you 	
point at them		–connect them		(with me)	
Acknowledge
or will it just be a 	
repeat
of what we 	
do (youknow)
every day after i grab that			 
lunchbox,
 (pb&j&honeycrisp) 
after 	i walk out 		that door

and then ill scream 	and scream	and scream
because		i dont know	what else to do 		anymore
but	to scream and 	let my voice crack at
the pitch	the tone		the urgency
i dont know how to do it    anymore &i	 	just 		
want to know 		how it 		this made	
i made			you feel		
you know?
