is a tall of a raucous night
for the gorehounds
and the rock-n-rollers.
At the midnight hop,
if you haven't danced to Morrissey
in the morning
are you even dead?
At the midnight hop,
I know it won't come to love,
but I meet her at the statue
any way, anyway.
At the midnight hop
all the anxious monsters
eat me with emergency
meditations, more or less.
At the midnight hop
thieves without warning
on the tip of your tongue,
on the back of your neck.
At the midnight hop,
I sing a mending moan,
waiting on the sun only
to bring me home.
