Yes, you are


she starts with the last page first and, that is for carla jo

that is one of the reasons this is an insideout



another reason this is an insideout is that 1217Bee named this baby before it was born

another reason this is a swell insideout is that i know you are torn
between

there’s no way that i can, but i do, and you are, so i know you are


torn

the you you are now’s a you you’ve never been
and you’re torn in two trying to run back and forth
betweenbetweenbetween
between

between the you you are now
and the you you will be
for, just like i’d hoped you’ve continued to read

to read is to learn
what the writer is learning
you read you ‘cuz you’re what i’m writing
i’m saying it
i’m telling you,
but you still don’t know it
there’s no
way
i
can do that, so therefore i’m not
to you,
to you,
to you,
to you

to you, i am not, so ...

to you, i’m not.
