i’ll never forget
how when my heart was breaking
you went to see a foreign film in the suburbs with your family
like it was nothin’
the next day, proceeded to tell me about Korean film and
K-pop like an old man who was just hearing about it for the first time in 2022,
like someone who never knew anyone and who traveled to Korea, for a semester abroad or to teach English, or anything, despite your worldliness and AAdvantages,
like someone who never heard
of BTS, Map of The Soul,
or Carl Jung
it was then i realized how
ignorant and insular,
and Lechter-like you were,

you eat people to feed your ego,

and i was a fucking feast

your heart rate never rose the whole time

but your dick sure did
