on any other day i would hear you
out; im much too busy today
go play in the sand like
good girls and beetles
and come back when youve grown up

on any other day i’d see you
but not today; i’m blind.
jesus tore my eyes out
and now im filing papers

and paper cuts define me

any other day id eat you
but im not a praying mantis
despite what you think
im breaking free, watch me.
tomorrow is another day
and today is not just any
