hot right now. on screens everywhere. my face having sex without my body.
my boyfriend’s choking eye-for-an-eye gains in popularity.
the texts: everybody knows it’s fake and not that deep, its body
of water like a kiddie pool full of sharks.
in shops and schools i think of the creature, the body
below my mouth gargling and gagging for the rest of our lives.
beside my jaw and lips, whose bony canyons did the video even disembody?
did she really do these things, fleshed and bloody,
this other part of his equation for a perfect girl, just some body
to fill these positions.
had they forgotten about my throat, everybody
watching, how it’s what is missing.
i follow its red-raw river down to what is mine.
