Christmas and summer
stretched out
tell me what I got confused for
phantom love
and kid gloves
better take it back

my mouth tastes like olives
and licorice and dollar store gum
while I think
my dick is always hardest in verse
better take it back

we’re stressing the anxiety
and man better keep
keeping the memory
and that elbow height
when taking pills
just right

that brain was a flower
of linen and metal
reaching
oh you’re sick in Montenegro
no I’m being serious
I do care

I
your French is poor
shit sorry
I only keep it up for
a little while
this up
just to be clear
my garden is artificial
and my children
are circling hummingbirds
hungry and confused
better take it back
