new from above/ground press: aversions // nothing special, by Wanda Praamsma

aversions   //   nothing special

$5

*

bleak
outward
mission-less

me   unknowing

a lack of speech
in-existence
out-existence

you          simply weren’t

aimless    it’s all one after the other
I’ll have this & that
& then we’ll lay there naked
all for pleasure
not for knowing          you
