three poems – sam albala

half awake dreams

dairy does that

I keep eating ice cream thinking it might save me.

                                                        from what?

who knows.

                                         the end of the world maybe.

fear of the end of the world.

                                                        dairy does that.

especially when you’re lactose intolerant.

middle finger to the patriarchy 

everyone loves a woman in distress.

                                 well tell everyone to fuck off.
