Duplex (Davina)

Boys & girls still daydreaming romance
always believe they’ll drown in loneliness.

        As if believing we’ll drown loneliness,
        we keep talking to the wrong people.

I look for my people in wrong places
on my phone. Am I even talking?

        On my phone, am I even a person?
        Tell my friends to slow down a little.

Tell my heart to slow down a little,
caught up in the frenzy of joy & terror—

        don’t catch me up to that terrible frenzy.
        Just give me love in a build-your-own kit.

You give me love in pieces. We build our own
boys & girls, still daydreaming romance.
