Literature Text
He saw things that drove him insanity.
But they did not even think to take him seriously.
They sighed and rolled their eyes
Because they had no idea
What he saw.
They called him a liar.
But if he was lying,
Then he would make the voices stop.
He would smooth out the walls.
He would ignore the faces.
But he couldn't.
Because he wasn't lying.
And he wasn't a liar.
But they did not even think to take him seriously.
They sighed and rolled their eyes
Because they had no idea
What he saw.
They called him a liar.
But if he was lying,
Then he would make the voices stop.
He would smooth out the walls.
He would ignore the faces.
But he couldn't.
Because he wasn't lying.
And he wasn't a liar.

True Story
I once read a book
called How to Offend; it had
just one word: "exist."
Literature
Seoul
it was
all too easy,
forgetting your name,
tasting the starlight tucked
behind someone else's
wisdom teeth ;
our soju-laced smiles
crashing at 90mph
and the memory of you
caught
in the headlights and
wreckage of us,
our 2am laughter
echoing in your bones
from 5654 miles away ;
my hands knowing
the age-old roads
that led to brand new places,
and the faded map of you
folded and kept hastily
in my back pocket.
(I was far too proud
to ask for directions
to come home)
Literature
.
I buried hope in the ground
and pretended not to hear her
screaming from the depths
(heartless)
