Let’s take a long walk in a short run
on Adam’s tongue, on Adam’s tongue
where I tasted the barrel of your gun
when we were young, when we were young.

you made me promise
to never lose hope
but who would’ve
thought you were
the one to lose it.

cast two-dimensional shadows,
then fourth-dimensional objects
cast three-dimensional shadows.
If this hypothesis holds true, then
we are the shadows of the fourth dimension.

To my bloomed beauty,
oh my flower in the sun,
you were my Janis.

In the name of the Zenith,
the Nadir, and the Meridian.
I’ll follow Vivienne
to the waters of oblivion.
