Tonight
after just another day
had two slices
of ninety nine cent pizza
on a paper plate
had a coffee
and read a book with
a decrease of unease
baby please don't falter
don't just be
there as
indirect limited partner
design me a web of choice
sell me your love
at cost
in a styrofoam cup
show me which way is up
i am lost
temperature nominal
i come to a boil
like white froth
i separate like water and oil
but it's normal
just listen watch
your conclusions are bullseye
but your reactions don't match
just don't light up as well
don't compell you to action
elated
destroyed rebuilt and distracted
i come back
thinking
what happens
when the queen dies
who will sing funereal hymns
of tourist cultures
what vultures
would put coins on the eyes
of her coinage
this is my reaction
this is my return policy
so don't expect greatness from
warpaint
i was born with this stripe
it used to hide me in tall grasses
in my previous type of life
and in this
i come back
nice simple and high
relativistically late at night
cool evening air
evening cut short
but not at the root
to allow for growth
we'll make the best of lost conversation ends
cut off
but not sacrified to gentille politesse
like dogs who wag their tails
at their friends
we will wag our tails
