some classy and elegant affection
i sit on the sofa under a blanket when the bloomin microwave begins to speak to me about rain barrels
i am half awake in the backseat next to a pile of books and the car is treating me like a roller coaster scaling the ocean painted sky
and i realize the depth in which cities are built like bodies
these similarities in structure becoming most evident in the obliteration of the human
i used cranium mouthwash to forget about the excavation of your eye sockets. to forget about the damage from the astroids, the flames, the flooding, the nuclear disasters and each death. to forget about the newfound prominence and the contour of your nose and cheeks. to forget about the crumbling and decaying cityscape. as the sky above becomes more evident
you told me about an orange tree in california
and miscalculating the mileage and mistracking the distance
and posing for a photograph, you drove the car into the Great Salt Lake
so you slept outside
i think ultimately i will glow into you
