            naked lying on a block of ice.
A pantry moth flies into the trap 
of glue and pheromones.

            because you’re a girl and he’s a guy.
Do you have the right sound equipment to flirt?
When you go to sleep, pantry moths lay eggs 
on your stored cereal. 

Are you afraid of being caught dead on camera? 
            Get used to it. 
You get scared of a dead pantry moth 
every time you see it in the trap, its antennae curved in. 

Are you okay with crying naked on camera?
             You spray Windex, but the pantry moth won’t drown.
You run around a circle holding a scarf and then
throw up for B Roll. 

A pantry moth handcuffed you to your bed last night
            only it was a dream.
A spooky sign in front of urgent care.
People like to say, I like discovering actors 
and DM me. 

A jar of almonds, taken over by larvae 
           squirming against glass. 
Ribbons wrapped around a set of teeth. 
The camera films you showering in slow motion. 

Make an outline, but don’t follow it. 
            Be nice to pantry moths, or they’ll starve you.

but the cinematographer is hot.

You will be known as the queen of forgetting,
as beautiful as money. And you show people nothing 
besides what they ask for.
