You sleep with jealousy and run red lights
bronzing conjugations of fornicate
trying to pump the impression
of laughing through intersections . . .
Scribbles aside you paddle to the middle
and sketch the shoreline . . .
The sun sits between timeouts . . .
It's all about staying the moment
finding a script with starting blocks tailor-made
then moving online for subtleties . . .
You got rid of most of it at the transfer station . . .
But some things are difficult to part with, yes? . . .
Sticking to your fingertips
when a storm approaches for example . . .
Seeing them in your rearview mirror . . .
And now, they're dancing on the roof
the angle making it impossible for you to let go . . .
