cavity sam in the seminal classic game operation

the pockets are loose

change the way fingers garner

through the loops

the same hips slide through

different undergarments

jittery teeth

touching and testing new bristles

i left a voicemail for hasbro because they have to update the game

for the

same heart

new hole

fuck you for dying 

while you’re still alive

milton bradley’s dead, but there’s more of a chance he responds to me then you.
