Pretty

Her whole apartment is two-tones
urinal yellows
and coffee filter browns.

From the kitchen, the lights blink rapidly
broken but still running
the tv is muted, but always there
like all our pictures pinned
on every surface

I look into her jeweled eyes and she says
이뻐
every morning
잘 생긴 남자
I say I know, and she says it again.
이뻐
I know

my grandma squeezes my thigh in awe
스롱
and while we eat lunch and she watches
full of us.
이뻐
her dreams if she still dreams
full of us
she endures to see

the color in our voices

in that two toned apartment, where everything
이뻐 lives
