viral
my heart
is like a sewer
but i’m trying to read
karl ove knausgaard anyway
there’s this scraping noise
coming from his computer
it sounds like a three-car pile up
at rush hour
a ceaseless ripping and tearing of metal
i put the book down
figuring
fuck it
and start thinking about the finer points
of committing murder
when the noise suddenly stops
he looks at me
confusing the glower
with a general curiosity
and says
that was a shark eating a metal tank
before going back to his computer
where it’s cute cat videos and laughter
until we’re at the end of the train line.
