New skin

my cells did not know what direction to grow in

they made new paths

and now my hearts in backwards

and my brain is somewhere else

and that’s enough damn its enough

so when a bass line starts

I wanna let you know

with my mishap heart

and that’s enough damn its enough

I’m not even supposed to be here

and I’m probably not here for you

but I’m off a known chart

so there’s a chance I am

and that’s enough damn its enough

i feel like new skin

from a scratched off scab two days too soon

Released and itchy for another goddamn fight

and that’s enough damn its enough

Latinx cowboy poet sometimes in an actual cowboy hat. Queer with all the letters.
