Favors, Jelisa Gonzalez

In life,

Nothing is owed

Other than 

The dreary excitement 

That comes from 

Crushing others 

In our dreams 

Conversations 

Wished to be had 

Hands

Wished to be held

And as one thinks all 

Is well, 

The world turns the other cheek 

Kindly resounding a 

Fuck off mentality 

For all the puny 

Humans to register 

Into their puny 

Delirious 

Brains.
