smell real food with friends not a picture of supper

smell real sex, dirty awkward funny risky wild messy dangerous, not porn

smell live shows, see if the band can make it or if they’re just showing insecurity, go deaf, snort blow off the toilet in the bathroom, not recorded music

hike in the woods and smell wild animal shit, feel your legs hurt, step on a snake, deal with a bear, not nature shows

smell sweat and feel the fist on your face, feel the pain of a loose tooth, taste the blood, not internet flame wars

remember how she smells when she looks at you and loves you, not texting lovely thoughts from a faraway stranger

say it to their face, feel how they feel when you say it, not vague cunty vaguebooking

don’t be a fucking coward, he said to himself
