when i bare my teeth to you
it’s like baring my skin
or my heart
see?
i’ve worn all my rage and lust
and love on my sleeve for so long
there is no alternative to that
once you begin
that’s why the poets say
beware! beware of me!
fairly or not
when i bare myself to you
is it like leaving you
for the very last time

was preplanned by
postdisaster specialists
the postcollapse love
in the postcollapse city
will be preplanned by
the rest of us
the priority will shift
when we prioritize
our prior commitments
to each other
or perish
