NaPoWriMo Wrap-up

Performance Artist
This is one of the poems from my recent NaPoWriMo experiment. I hope you enjoy it. Performance Artist I’m shy I don’t want to talk to people they seem so much more legitimate than me I’m uncomfortable my legs don’t sit nicely when I cross them because of my massive thighs I ate luke-warm,…
