Surviving 2020

II: An artist is someone who translates their world for others to experience.

III: Both often experience infinite curiosity.

IV: Sometimes one is both a scientist and an artist.

V: Forever searching out the "why"s, and blending their mind to create something others will understand.

VI: Most just want to be seen and understood, as this artist does.

VII: Enter the world and mind of a transmasc nonhuman living in a human body.

I just chugged a warm mug

of coffee with a cinnamon stick

I don’t think I’m okay.

Been high from the moment I wake

to when my eyes shut,

my thoughts wander.

Drowning out the world

ears wrapped in headphones

pumping music through.

Emotional pain is too far out

to connect my body with,

working till it hurts.

Trying understand the abstract,

accept the impossible

to ever understand.

Wrap your arms around me,

so that my brain may

release it’s oxytocin.

Closeness is hard to come by

in these infectious days

and could be deadly

Wrap your arms around

yourself instead

and let you feel

your love

A Flittering Flame
