no one’s seen any-
thing cause there’s so much
to see and doom-

scrolling eases our thumbs
soft and calloused alike,
which is why I assume

no one’s bought my book,
but I saw a neighbor at our
local strip

club, held their ripe,
resounding body to my leather
jacket, folded a few limp

bills into their waist-
band and said I’d see
them around.
