body
where does all the dirt come from?
I’m scared my dentist will say
something is wrong
I’m into skincare now
over the hump of acne years everyone
tells me to drink more water even the
girls who have never had a spot swear by it my
foot is fucked up the dentist told me the
lump is not something she would worry about
I de-escalate the fear to ongoing: non urgent
I haven’t bled in two years
all my pants have left me for those
clear skin bleeding girls I hate
bleeding the rush of clag &
analysis of your friends sofa
google says I have cramp I
clutch my foot like my own baby
