i am a regular customer at all of the convenient stores
in my neighbourhood, including yours
i’d like to purchase things i cannot afford
i’d like to live on a street, in a community, in an era
where nobody has a need to lock their doors
i’d like to watch you eat many many apples green
till their cores shine and gleam
like broken teeth encased in ice
melting in a puddle of rainbow gasoline
just because he didnt kill you
doesnt mean he didnt end
your life
