low


[lets take shots of rain.
and sleep with a rightwing girl.
lets eat grapes.
and talk to death.
lets go shopping.
and buy a sense of shame.
lets break the pool table.
and play by the rules.
lets give up.
and live.]

Muddy Frank keeps saying he has polio.
We brush him off and push him into thorn bushes.

Listen to the gathered river.
Secrets of boredom whisper.
I yawn twice.
We vandalize our lives.

I can't let you go.
