1402
you’re killing it in
your sequined dress
honey
and the governor
saying run
for government
has got us hot and heavy
that’s the heat
and martini
fish tanks
I keep swimming
to the bottom
;
the priest
at the baptism
drops his number
to the bottom
in the bathtub
don’t tease me
I’ll cry
don’t applaud
don’t tease me
I’ll cry
;
she’s got three eyes
and a cyclops body
and we’re drowning under
the money tree
you and me
honey
wait
wait
go out to dinner with me
I’ve got some French films
to show you
while we sweat
god damn
that’s some morning breath
in deep space
we’re not in good shape
;
holy
love
in a Mexican mineral bottle
bottle
bottle
bottle
that’s not
explicit enough
and I can’t be explicit
enough
when I say
I watch the light
touch the dust
stirred up by some ghost
that’s you
that’s you
don’t freak out
honey
I love you best
in memories
bad steaks
and cheap dates
no need to choke me
I’m gasping
looking up your floral
skirt
and
your white shirt
see through skirt
shit
bad glasses
sunglasses under Austin moon
don’t be so cool
you’re too easy
and
I’ve never been better
when you grabbed my cheeks
and said
“oh honey
you’ve had too much to drink”
that one isn’t about you
