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
