lean in, ask

none of this exists until
you lean in and ask

given to fever in drift
flowing over in waves
my jaw aches for silence
wired shut

you dream in a
wordspun heaven only
a breath away

lean in, ask

      When I do, the answer is usually a solid, “No.” 🤣

          I wasn’t allowed to have one. My parents were of the opinion that they were “stupid”. My friends, on the other hand…

            I never had one either. A friend of mine in elementary school had one. We would ask it all the silly little girl questions.

            I graduated right to ouija board when a neighborhood kid started having nightmares about his and gave it to me to get it out of the house.

            No nightmares. I suspect he psyched himself out. I was almost disappointed that I didn’t have any related to the acquisition.
