I feel born

too soon
sometimes

Tok
hope people
remember
speak our names

Tik
proclaim out loud
our prime
before
emojis

Tok
hiatuses
don’t dismiss
don’t destroy

Tik
I wonder about a young poet
who grew up looking
for words to save herself

Tok
did she find
our poems
like I did

Tik
does she search for us
online
sample some lines

Tok
better yet
let’s duet
