my lips are bruised and
i have scratches on my back
are these metaphors?
bloodied fingertips
stain the pages
of a book
i’ve delayed reading
and instead of thinking
about actualities
i focus on pop culture
and revolution
the tarot cards say that
the wheel of fortune
is spinning out of control
and maybe tomorrow
a lightbulb will flash
and i’ll change my jeans
and my point of view
