I Don’t Care by Henry Goldkamp

I Don’t Care

 

you decide.
Toeing the sands

coins in a purple felt bag
Crown Royal my father drank

I stole a pringles can with $50
in it from a car once

blessing ourselves
nasal spray at 4 am

mosquitos marvel
at the blue remainder of VHS tape

A veil and a shave

cheese cutter on the registry

eyes hurt as bad as earth

on fire with a video game and 10% off

veins on the back of my hand
leeches that I cannot picture

Should we go?
