a walk of life

stop clenching your teeth stop your fists stop

crying for one thing whoever don't we think 

we can just go back to sleep

back into too old ages back into againdays if 

wanting if wanting if wandering is too slow just

lay in my raincoat in the wind & let me fly

i articulate you over and over again in my mind

you lie with your eyes smile at mountains

o holy hurried time and physics don't chug weight

don't order lozenges from ebay 

no exaggeration

i examine my mind

will you weight it with waterfalls of your holy word dust

will i ever get a sense of atmosphere in this hovel

that is made of promises promises

i make a green salad and run in place

what do you do? what are you doing? what am i doing?

(lisa?)

help me catch my dress on something

hold me in place but not this place hold me in 

arcata/fortuna/nyc/albuquerque/copenhagen/lincoln

hold me in debt hold me in the psych ward or in the philosophy dept

or in hell

hold me in hell which is kraft mac n cheese please hold me

in florida

i want to vacant lot your slick fur

i want to allow myself a kiss

perhaps, for sure, in case, considering, however, darling,

dig me?

lay down for a while while i chalk at your innards

tête–à–tête i return the movie without watching it fraying at the sleeves

my photo album is a sort of forgot-farm that looks stable

look at it and try to stand upright
try just to look at the ones of me
