I wanna get to know me, and you, and me and you, and me again
sure it’ll get weird for what seems like a really long time but
we can go on hoping for the best
here we go
through this tumbled mesh
of headphone wires
made to make you mad
arrive quickly and
with a dedication
they heavy-doused and
sandblasted the side of this windowpane
with cinnamon, of all things
heaven the scent of it
flowing through all things
they spray everything down with Lysol where I work
so it’s like when you’re using the phone to assist a customer
you’re also having a conversation with Lysol
screaming and screams that turn to sighs
screaming for change, being the real surprise
screams that turn to sighs
the life of knowing
so much inside
comes crumbling out
popular jingle tree branch
broken in the heat of violence
proof pretty decent
up and walking and
off to houses
okay credit
alright then
why can’t we
name our hours
and finalize our supers?
it’s pretty nice I think to be
doing new things and experiencing
new bud
two suns brush up on a planet
the edge is where you carve the teeth
of the mechanism
and come back aboard
very careful not to have a run in
with you
with me
very careful not to have a run in
not to appear tired in front of your friends
you fail to pick my number like every time
I know I’ve heard your name before
stripped to what’s left
one two baby steps of breath
not a victim, not a bad night
hard to get the dirt out their dollar eyes
a dead grit of cold shadow house
internal signs
screams then some sighs
not a victim walking around like this
here fall the grapefruit peels
the man that casts these peels smiles real big
here fall the grapefruit peels
