Gone


(assignment: write about something you’ve never experienced.)

My tongue feels too big for my mouth, and
Someone else’s fingers prod
My numb lips

Coasters
Where are the coasters? I forgot to use one

I press the glass to my face, but the condensation
Is long since gone I exhale
and swipe my tongue through the film of fog

Fingerprints! No matter

The liquid will be warm, but it is brown
and I think will burn the itch in my throat

My lips buzz
Has gravity always been down?
