the nights so tight
they spun
the lights so loose
gums
teeth gone

if they fall out
— pebbles
they shared some blame

nobody said –

at night
just paranoia
in strange hooves
grudge
grainy tunes

get your clothes
from the laundromat
I’ll be up
smoking a cigarette
with frozen food
millennial shaking fits

coffee and someone to say
no
or
any other word
