{how to get your ph.d. in wales}
  kat sanchez



I love to drink coffee light
like sometimes the California sky

is watery milk

I’m gonna write you a postcard

It could take all evening
stabbed among the new daffodil shoots

like a weed
like I am a weed

How it happens
I am a lonely plant-animal

I have always wanted to be a goathead
stuck in your sock

Like when you were a child
and blonde
Now you are the redhead not me

and the filter is draining more quickly than ever
