gawking usurped neighborhood watchounds
run your fingers through your hair, feel them staring at you and your
pores open, feel your insecurities in drips congealed on your scalp,
bite at your freckled lip you’re cracked and they are muttering to each other
behind their fences and wrought iron bedposts, about you, they are twisting
