A is for...
A is for abortion
A is for autonomy
A is for anarchism
A is for all of us
Everyone
A is for atrocity
A is for abuse
A is for everywhere
A is for "ehhh…?"
The unconscious sound you make
lilting upwards
when you discover something new,
surprising, confusing, while scrolling
on your phone
Often,
the question resolves itself in minutes,
but sometimes
it lingers, builds up
and accrues
An ache unanswered
The what becomes a why
and metastasizes like a cancer
A foreign body
A new idea
A lost hope
A is for pay attention
to the goddamn signs
