From 6×6 #19: 

Everyone I Knew in High School Is Dead

to make that pa-tew-wee sound
we all like
when you spit it out again
there isn’t much you can hold in your mouth
for long
crystalline structures draw
me in
sometimes I’m too cold to get
out of bed & shut
the window I passed on my shiver
like a yawn
I move my tongue up
& down in my empty mouth &
pretend to toss a baby shark around
try to feel the slippery weight
someone whispers to me
shark attack shark attack shark

—Julia Cohen
