Let’s Only Meet Once
let’s only meet once
no matter the relationality
no matter the causality
no matter the entanglement
let’s only meet once
let’s only meet once
then I can still be nice
and you can still be curious
there is still unknownness
when boundaries are still discernible
you’d be polite
i’ll be respectful
you don’t wanna come too close
i’m exhausted
i’m infuriated
i’m polyporous
i’m monstrous
like a sandglass
i cannot hold your humanism
i cannot hold your anthropocentrism
i cannot hold your liberalism
i particularly cannot hold your internalized colonialism and that grovelingly proud look when you utter your ignorance
let’s only meet once
