I Am

By hannah rubin

the slow dreams of being nobody’s secret  

the one where everything is built from concrete

cinnamon turkey jerky and grass fed beef wrapped in

plastic. the liquid sun the liquid mirage of the exterior 

each day’s appetite for self advertisement  

glittering with ineptitude, 

things I want
