TENSION ENVELOPES

we let the entire earth get fucked up as we listened to bright eyes on the radio in a hot dock shack on the lakefront taking shelter from the storm that ate the city
after we were the only ones on the beach

on the steps

lake michigan looks like an ocean its cold
don't be so stupid stuck against something that can trick you so hard

there is more weight in nebraska
more air to be hot

everyone i have ever met is here
i am born
the lake is here
we have technology
we have smaller things
we have no moon
we have no technology
we have
cool
we have cool


we took our clothes off being luxurious
and free
in a completely good way
which we even thought of as really bad
we being bad when the sun came
when we reflected on our goddamn orgy
jesus
we threw books out of the window
we fucked all over the place
i fell asleep on the steps to the house
after taking a walk trying to collect myself thinking that
we were fucking geniuses but i spent
$50 on a cab back
