THE THINGS I DO NOT KNOW

1. We do not know the colour of your eyes
   Some say it’s blue— deep seas are in your eyes
   or was it the sky that spread its sheet across your irises?
   Others say it’s red— so I searched your pupils for fires
   That burn the world in your head but I found a fickle of baseless emotions

What does that even mean?

2. What sex are you?
   They say you are male
   I say you are both
   Some say you do not live long enough
   To know why you breath like mashed potatoes,

To define you is to solve dy/dx
We will disintegrate the palms in your knees
And differentiate the worlds you seem to live in.

3. What lives in a smoke?
4. Why do tongues flap?
5. Why do we die?
6. Where do you go after death?

I heard the children say that God is up
And Satan is down so I wonder
What room holds the truth
And what window opens lies like the cunt of
a street whore?

7. Do you miss me?

Did you ever?
Will you ever?

8. I miss you right now
   So I say baseless things at first
   To drive me into the home of my points

See,
I miss you
And the thing that holds the mind of this poem is
Do you ever miss me?
