I’m your cum

slut babe

all I do is

read muse tan

drunk off

day drinking

what if we kissed

at the weezer

wall on national

girlfriend day

I saw a pink thong

that says good dick

will imprison you

well I’ve been

imprisoned

by your intelligent one

aching for more cocaine

noir in my corset

we don’t netflix and chill

we tubi and fuck

august burns faster

than a birthday quickie

but at least heaven

is air-conditioned

Can you livestream

in the night hotel?

I’m waiting for you in pigtails

and a tennis skirt. I’m at the foot

of everyone’s midlife crisis.

We’re in a post-Bret Easton Ellis world

the world we write is the world we live in

wasn’t that the New York School?

I’d have a Coke with you

but your teeth would rot. Your teeth

are most precious a neighborhood of

pre-gentrification dive bars to smoke inside.

People are afraid

to merge but this isn’t a freeway.

There are no signs

of life besides the bellhop.

We don’t have bags, only desires.

Drive us into the Hudson

in a rented Jaguar as I give you head.

My teeth stay hidden

Followers will theorize

our disappearance. Found footage conspiracy

Norman Fucking Rockwell

was born

a few blocks away. You’re buying an eighth

for fifteen. I’m drifting toward room service.

I would go out tonight, but my phone

isn’t charged.

I would go out tonight, but when

you return, we’ll just fall asleep.

Ashley D. Escobar

you let omw

autocorrect

to On My Way!

every time

you’re on

the bus

at 2:33 am

coming

home

from an open mic

my anxiety walks

are on doordash

weaning

off hard liquor

no one says

they’re so

fucked

up anymore

i’m fucked up

on missing you

i share my love

in bursts

of odd behavior

i don’t simp

i yearn

i cuddle bunny

i snuggle monster

i i former loiterer

now curled up

with eve babitz

until we fuck

i’ll never

remove

my négligée
