Homeless

Hi, if you are calling you already know who this is.

Sorry, I cannot pick your call right now, please leave a message and I’ll call you right back. Bye.

Hello, I’m calling from student services, you have been missing classes and significant assignment deadlines.

Hello I’m calling from Lightpark, you booked an appointment for 1 pm today but did not show up.

Hey, I have been trying to reach you for a couple days now, its not nice that you just ghosted me like that, call me back, hmm.

My best friend asks me “how are you today?”

I respond: I am fine, you?

But what I really want to ask is “how do you make a home in yourself?”

“how do you heal a wound wrapped around every breath you take?”

I slip into my bed
