Adelaide Lii

I like to watch them drink their drinks:
Vodka poured from glass to aluminum.

Don't throw stones,
...

Our vision drops like pebbles and
pebbles
into streams
...

It is snowing
even though we all thought spring had sprung
up from the depths of our bookshelves
and onto our laps.
...

They speak of memories, progress, and calculations but
you’d rather think of art in it’s purest form.  

Heads down on desks, we are
...

Listen.
Stop hesitating.  
Stop putting it off by flossing your teeth.
...

People look into her
eyes like chopping down trees.

She tries to find a comfortable skin to crawl into
...

This. This is beautiful. Listen.
Pick any two points.
...

Is there no remedy
for you?

With the sky below your eyes,
...

but there is too much fabric
to our clothes
and we would like to lie across
...

I couldn’t speak
so I scratched the words onto my hips
like raspberry stains on kitchen-floor-tiles.
