No

Poetry, Jordan Merenick


you don’t have to clean your room &swallow the mountain whole&

sing a ninth octave&cure cancer&paint a new picasso picture&be the first on mars&

fall in love with anything real&hug a tree&

or have a favorite meal&dance under twilight&

sword fight with gravity&use punctuation&

tickle time&terra form your mind with a podcast&

believe in any sort of deity&take part in a political system&

leave a mark in the world whatsoever  



cause you just you

with your loose sinew

& dangling modifiers

are sown onto the hem

of this age perfectly 


by fate’s, sticky fat fingers
