black friday//stay out of my head

i keep having nightmares
about my time working in a mall
around this time of year,
and though it was nearly a decade ago,
i somehow think i’ll never fully
be over the blood, sweat, and tears
spilt on the unholiest of retail days,
black friday

ANIMAL KINGDOM PLOTS

fervent nightmares terrorizing

sleepless nights of cold sweat dripping

down/around/up the bedsheet

of plastic horses being driven by

porcupines come to take their rightful place in the animal kingdom
