one object cannot flank another object
one beard is not the world's beard
a bed on the floor doesn't allow for a tall table
but a wooden box on which
to set earlymorning unmentionables
or to obscure little desire-machines
don't check my motor
can I check my pockets?
give me your square teeth
should I say hi to you?
sure, do it
no no, nevermind
don't say anything.
a bandana person
save your scent to share
get your neckblanket on me
to guzzle
you through a nose & open drink mouth
I am pretending to smoke a cigarette
in the alleyway, back to the sun
bc I want to think abt being naked, if you can imagine
and the tight holds
handles of bones
a spotted concave chest
a long torso
a maybe ugly
a darling as darling as darling
instead of wandering, breaking everything
shattering itall
sparkle cuts allovertheplace
who needs furniture? we ask
new orleans is on my to do, you said
a given name? what give you me?
I'm really glad, you said
we met
stay sweet, I said
stay sweet, we said, and did
I'll bet
from our low cushions
and nightstands
