Sparks is a city in the Nevada, United States
that is commonly associated with the comedic
podcast “The Thrilling Adventure Hour”
is a fact as cold as your living
room when I thought of the perfect metaphor
for how you are destined to hurt me
which you won’t find interesting.
I wasn’t even conceiving a poem
A healthy person would not be attracted to electrical
sparks that are signs of faulty components
She would not be writing a poem
She would rather hug a moist tree
or be screaming gliding down a water slide and
get very sunburnt and text a friend about it
joking that someone would call the pinkness
Faye-Wong-in-1998-esque so that they can hit
You called it the rosey cheeks
Sing and Play is the Hong Kong pop star’s
fifteenth album which sold 2.5 million copies
It’s also what a healthy person would want to do
She would want to sing and play
She would prefer a higher room temperature than I do
like you
even though scientifically the optimal room temperature
for a male body is three degrees Celsius lower
She would know that firework is temporary glitters
and unreliable warmth
no matter how much the arrangement of those orange
dots of pigment in your eyes reminds her of an annular
solar eclipse which is known to last forever surely right?
There are stars in the sky
She would prefer a poem that finishes as gently as it starts
I don’t want to be here and I am never coming back again
was what I texted my friend hours before you
called me an uber and told me
that you never wanted to do this again
in the same tone that you would tell someone that
Sparks is a city in the Nevada, United States
that is commonly associated with the comedic
podcast “The Thrilling Adventure Hour”
