my favorite right now

________

i want all of it’s happiness to be afraid of itself and weary of being discovered
i want most of the line breaks where you naturally pause
i want every last stanza to be written in fine print
and i only want the variety
because repeating something and never changing
is selling out and incomplete
it doesn’t matter how much you make
because selling out is a figure of speech
and i don’t think you should lie to me like leaving out nature all together
but a nature poem is a poem about one thing and that is selling out and boring
unless your in a good mood, the kind of mood that makes sand look beautiful
