the internet raised me to be
sentimental about the
unauthentic.

        &when we
audio trip together I can’t remember
if it’s alright to tell you that
this isn’t my first time, but
want it to be.

the Frank Ocean mp3 skips
and my life is dead leaves
because digital media
is supposed to be forever.

but nyan cat raised me
to be unauthentic in
sentimental moments.

I turn onto my back
with a Matt Damon smile
where the right corner of my mouth

frowns &the left side smiles
as if to say

I think it’s cute that this
didn’t mean as much to the song
as it does to me.
