There are constellations in me.

I fell into a vat of radioactive space dust and have been this way ever since. My power is that I appear completely powerless to you. The truth, however, is that I can see the crumbly seams of the stars, I can hear the rush of electrons in every one of your atoms (it's quite loud), I can stir things up inside your soul and you won't even realize it until one day you wake up and wonder what happened to the boy or girl that you once were. I can blow kisses at the back of your neck.

Levitown, 3:30pm

This isn't my piss. I can tell because my boxers aren't wet. It's only my pant leg. Someone pissed on me in the night. I experience something akin to the process of grief, but crystallized in one moment.
I look down at my hands. Hoping the answers are written there.
They aren't.
But there is dirt worked into my palms, like I've been digging in a garden. I try to spit on them, but can't muster a droplet. I think for a moment of wringing my pants for urine, but scrap the idea and decide to look for a bathroom instead.

to be continued.

Sincere as well-intentioned lies.

That is all.
