Anti-heroes in Underground Film

Kyle Hemmings

I’m the boy who can’t act.
I’ll wind up loving you
like all the other girls
who lost a sandal and a wig,
become too lethargic to float upon water.
Or they sink with the help of mute lifeguards.
Tell you this much.
What we have in common: Trauma.
For years we couldn’t see colors
nor understand the meaning of granuloma tissue.
Your trauma is an anarchy of silver scars under the skin.
My trauma is emptiness.
On the subway, we could sit across each other for hours
and not say a word.
And you would know everything there is to know
about me.
