name of the game

i feel weird

my ankles always need to be cracked

my knuckles feel swollen

my forehead feels tight

my closed eyelids twitch

i feel weird

empty bottles line my window pane

sheets pushed to the bottom of a king

sleepless summer nights

night after night

after night

after 

night

i feel weird

and the name of the game is limbo

lower and lower to the ground, i bend

trying to show off 

look at me

look at me

look at me

i'm so flexible

but instead, i just end up demonically contorting

looking up at the world with my hair in the dirt

upside down and trying to understand the game
