LOU RASMUS

I’m not going to smile
because I don’t want to
mislead you,
but I’ll show you these teeth
because that seems real.
And I’m not deepressed,
just so that’s clear.
But I’m not happy, either,
because it seems weird
to be happy with
the way things are
in the world.
I just think that
some things are cool,
and some things are shit.
Life is weird.
So I’ll show you my teeth
if I want to.
Show yours too.
