and the night breeze was like a half-remembered book about wild boys named after horses who die in the middle (who well know of such things.)
you banked the median HARD like the worst kind of skipping stone
and spat a small bullet of gum out at the ******* pickup on the other side of the road.

the 58% waning moon, cocked
like leaning one arm way far out the window .
the shed petals and leaf-buds hailing downwards from swaying canopy-archways into somewhere new /
pelting the windshield like softly homing drone-strikes upon the cool, black and yellow world.

when you had to take out the ©0₱ for his gun, a quick knife-draw cut away the body cam and went in hunt of dashboard tendons after finding his driverdoor unlocked.

-you filed down the numbers and naively measured the clinking paperweights shaken loose from the clip with calipers for later reference : to make sure you ordered the right ones when they ran out.

she cried

and cried
that night,

the getaway was clean.

the night air was
Perfect.

[.picture this, an exhaustive list of all of our contemporary superstitions

not just the ones that people you think of as “different” have-

like, for real.

what memories have mobs formed?

what will be remembered of our days in style of :

.bloodletting
.electroshock therapy
.human sacrifice


what zealocies reman deep in the bones of those who wear the
        frocks/blue/red ties/lab coats


let this not become an “Us v. Them” moment


let this be a moment
of

remembering to
stop and smell
the torture chambers


of our home-cooked inquisitions

and the var. sundry insignias of our
time (here)



it’s a small enough virtue .]
