Watching You Rust

(Maybe you should just change my name to Damien while you’re at it)  

 

 

I remember the day

that my mother

had our priest

stop by 

to see me. 

He attempted

to play it off,

as if he were present

to visit the family,

but his questions

betrayed 

his actual interest

and intent.

Why I had books

on Demonology 

and exorcism

isn’t something

easily worked

into casual conversation,

nor are questions

about why a teenager

is such a weird

little shit.

At that point,

I knew

the sweet feel

of just being me.

(Confusing and

irritating others

 was simply a bonus.)

Love The Title

This is the way the world

attempts to work. Not

with a great har har

but a chuckle.

Thanks Lady A! (I credit Running with rabbits for imparting the importance of titles to me!) It’s hard to be a teenager. It’s harder when eveyone thinks you are weird as hell, rather than just having an inquisitive soul.
