give a girl a nickname / she'll want a rainbow recollection

Ayooo! This week’s poem is an ekphrastic (I can NEVER say that word right!!) of Larissa’s nyc diary from last week and the film “Little Fish” (which you should TOTALLY watch & cry to this week!!) 🧠 🐟. Alright, goodbye. xx K

rude of you to show up here! 🙄

honestly, nevermind
gonna staycate this city 
only go to the office to practice 
my standup routine these days what is 
real & what is really happening by idiots 
for idiots involuntarily unlearned to stop 
loving this affliction fucked each other up 
so badly the only way to survive it was by
forgetting to let go of the endless whites 
of hopes & dreams want to change the 
anarchist aesthetic it’s like, people have 
a right to pretty things yaknow? the sound
of ice clinking glass feels fighter-fishy don’t 
zoom in too much or you'll see how close I let 
you get to my haptic memory did I hurt you? 
or did I help ya? how long until we’ll under
stand if you give a girl a nickname she’ll 
want a rainbow recollection didn’t know 
where I was going that day we met 
(don’t look) at something so good 
(in your brain) it’s gone bad smell 
it instead & prove you’re insane
