A footnote

I wanted

to get rid of
you

piece by
piece

by
pieces

like a
footnote

but
i soon

realized that

life is
far

from
being a
footnote

because you don't
fall
for a
footnote


& you can't
unwrite
love, fear,
desire, hatred
passion & lust


rather, life is a
whole bunch
of
tight-wrapped

feelings

left in

the

gutter

for you
so you can

grab onto
it

& pretend
that it's
yours

just
for a
moment
