Expectation Nightmares by Yash Seyedbagheri

5/9/2022

 
​every night,
I’m in a car
and I’m cruising faster and faster
the steering wheel is impotent
like rubber
and the horns blare
among all the exhaust
faster, faster, faster

and I’m at a party
where mustaches bear into me 
telling me what to say, how to do it,
but I have to go to the bathroom
one jiggle of a toilet handle
and the room explodes
with only the frowns left
in the dust-covered clouds
I can’t even flush 


Yash Seyedbagheri is a graduate of Colorado State University's MFA fiction program.
