out

go walk too fast heels smashing in prestissimo though no unison i say more like keeping time with
the clicking of a turn signal and an automobile has no sense of rhythm i say i can't rely on any
single machine i say these nights spin like gears and we walk along the rivets bellies full and lips wet and arms over our shoulders we run hug laugh scream and stutter step together i say our breath smells like the mornings we mold after a flood is called in from some satellite or maybe god himself again and rinses the pallet and fields are water-logged i say i can't account for my behavior
or yours or any words spun with vulgarity and those impure words! creeping through my teeth i lie my mouth is wide open and the leak is embraced the same way my eyes are my muscles and drag my bones around with no objection from my lids i say when i end up with my ass on my couch and we talk of all the things far into the next day people are either doing the same or hugging their pillows and wishing the alarm never sounds i say sleep is always a disappointment but a friend
nonetheless i say i know no other means of leisure and repeat everything i do and everything i say
