I Want To Be Your Methadone Poem by Katelyn Hinman

(red. green. yellow. blue.)
in my eyes the carnival lights bathe you in such a manner
they illuminate the dismal grey of your complexion
enchant that polyester tragedy upon your head
glamorize your sunken cheeks and protruding hipbones
if only they could rekindle the extinguished fire of your soul
heighten the delight in your unusually melodic voice
enlighten those who admire you only visually
emphasize that you are more than a girl wearing an ugly hat
(red. green. yellow. blue.)
