Dated

I am older than you by 2,875
days, give or take a few sun
flares and moon tides and
what do you think i have learned
during that time?

While you
were being pushed against a
gorged, pink tip for sustenance
I was being marked by lashings
long and cruel.

So what is it that I could have over you?

What symmetry do you think is
pressing against my white spine
that is yet to form around
yours?

And where does that
put us now, in this moment?

Sitting at the Denny's late
at night, you in your sequin
dress and me in jeans and a hoodie.

Because as far as i can tell there is nothing
between us except a ridiculous plate of nachos.
