100 social iguana
Lyrics
i am a poikilotherm
which just means
i have no internal weather
only borrowed
no green scales
but the thermostat is missing
same result
put me beside joy
and i begin photosynthesis
five minutes in
i am sweating daylight
laughing too hard
at jokes
still hatching
in someone’s mouth
someone says crossfit
and a part of me
i do not trust
says maybe
then pictures the parking lot
and reconsiders
put me beside exhaustion
and i go still
belly pressed to bark
waiting for a sun
that moved on
your bad mood enters
my body files it
as climate
not influence
weather
i went on a date
with a man
whose personality felt
like a loading screen
with no progress bar
by dessert
my pulse was a rumor
my body already drafting
a hibernation plan
the waiter asked
coffee or tea
i almost said sunlamp
he said
this place is fine
and fine
lowered the room
three degrees
lizard in a shoebox
afterward
my couch became
a warm rock
until my name
thawed
i do not enter rooms
i acclimate
my blood
plagiarizes the room
so if you see me
shivering
in summer
do not offer
a jacket
send the loud friend
with stories too bright
to keep indoors
send heat wearing a voice
long enough
to crawl out
of the shoebox
and molt
