Fluid Situation by Ryan Quinn Flanagan

Decorative Concrete Kingdom Concrete Wood Flooring - Rapid City SD


There is nothing pretty
about the words that
matter

the ones
that climb under
your skin and grow
infected

spilling out this pusey
yellow fluid
in rotting weepy
bubbles

that you squeeze onto
the faux wood floor
your landlord is so
proud of.
