Thump
Dumb

I am dumb now but I used to be smart but now words leak meaning.
I am an imposter I don't belong here but I am grateful to be tolerated. My favorite sentence from Sylvia Plath's novel is: “It was a face that needed soap and water and Christian tolerance.”

wash your hands of me
for i am your better
lest i destroy your soul
rid yourself of my smell
as you will forever
know none better

the ballad of narcissus
There is no empty space
