People Who Don't Exist Don't Take Fall Damage​

​

if you’re ready to sleep we can

sink if you’re ready into the halfnesses

and shiftless hours of coming into

shudder off consent and just be

just being

just having this happen to us if

you’re ready

 

there is as everybody knows a secret sun

muddled liqueur bright on the doubled over

side of the gloaming morn whose glare

speckles eastermorning glittershards of

celebritypoints in the quartzforests and

the deep flat reeking reefsweat humid as

victory after a legion’s age offworld

and if you like if you ask me to i’ll wait

all away there under the migrainous shade

and stunning ugly and stoop to fill

one bloodied arm with shards to eat

the other with you dragged woken into

 

if you ask me to i’ll go on awake to

muddle over double through

though neither of us is worth it

and in the end if you do

the math with regard to minimum wage or even lowest welfare-bracket and the cost to buy them in the in-game store versus grinding the least fun part of the forest just artificially inflating the playtime they get to show on the investment report

neither are the points

nor any of it

and the hours come hot

come up spill up reel up as

acid from a punched gut

how consent does

how sleep does

how the world was

but i’ll be there to catch you

and you’ll be there to catch me

not to break your fall but

be broken by it

 

when i disappear and somebody else

is there this whole conversation will

start over and you will need to build

a new body from the trust i gave you or

not need

it won’t affect my attraction to you if

with her you skip the build phase to

come into me again

and the folds slip and her sheetless

eyes fuddle with mine and we’re back

to where consent shudders

in like a waking hangover
