my blackheads are zombies

on the narcissist tip, i am compelled to share this.
as i age, i have accumulated blackheads where i once had fair, fine skin. mostly, on my nose.
this happens. however, now said blackheads have aggregated to the extent that they have unionized against me. if i squeeze one, they all want to be squeezed and start oozing ropy goodness on my shaving mirror. i'm thinking, zombies.
this mostly happens in the middle of the night, after the little one is asleep. this is also the real reason i am not sleeping, despite my vain and desperate attempts to pretend otherwise.
to return the zombies to their graves.

ocean something (in-progress)

ocean hematoma,
a cloud's heartbreak.

there was a swan
in that nuclear dust,
a chorus of sticking.

memory shards. vengeful planets.

ocean's tumult,
emotion of a "brand-new" something.
