When I was totally twelve
like my parents
took us camping, like
whatever, we hung out &
ohmygod, there were these
fish in the river. I think they
were trout, anyway
when I got in the water
one would totally like
chase me or whatever.
I like wanted to jump out
& scream, know what I mean
except it was kind of like
whatever, cool -- I mean,
at least someone wants
to find out who I am.
Now you're like staring
at me, eyes totally unblinking
and I can't help thinking
dude, you are so. cold.
I mean, if I reach out
will you like dart into the dark,
or will you be a mammal already,
know what I mean? 'Cuz
just give me the word, I'm
totally screaming, scrambling
for shore. I'm like
there, dude. Totally.
