Have you ever been fingered by the invisible hand? 💅

Kelly responding to Larissa’s piece, “How to lose a guy that lives in your head & feeds your internalized misogyny in 10 days”

all he can give me 
are things
that have already been mine
disguised 
as “free market” treasures:
a Marc by Marc bag,
lost HitClips,
Claire’s earrings,
& roses, so many roses
plucked from my own garden 
returning them only 
as bloodied-red stems
the pink detachment
of she/them’s 
is eroticism is 
Abercrombie-ripped-jeans-
Natick-Mall-guerilla-warfare 
no doubt about it
how will I ever?
strip this suspicion 
of strangers from my skin
applying endless layers
of MAC Lipglass 
to my mouth BBM-ing him 
from the top of my lungs 
to come 
with something novel this time 
or at least,
an Auntie Anne’s pretzel 
with cheese, plz
