That’s because it’s a burn from
the cheap polyester socks that rub
against skin.
Every time I slide I get some
new scrape on top of the old one.
The healing process can’t begin.
That’s because it’s a burn from
being fast enough, or dumb
enough to make the slide, again
to second. Every time I slide I get some
rush of feeling I didn’t have before.
I just quit smoking
because it’s like burning from
the inside out. I must have smoked a
ton
and I never really let anyone in.
Sometimes I slide and I get some
cigarettes, just to have some
security, just in case I need a clip
to keep me from the burn, from
feeling every time I slide.
