beads of salt and sweat edge the Cuban sandwich zest from the tip of my tongue flavors of my own theme song echo in my throat I'm merry ******* footfalls on hot concrete snares and the groans swinging between my thighs take lead singing cat whistles along Main Street snakes will be snakes and tight cotton shirts is asking for venom vial shots don't worry though those are my brother's loosened trousers I'm a sweet gardener I hold doors open and voted for Hillary I'm blinding reflection standing over the hill but don't shake my thoughts with your pepper singed howls cleaning you up messes my stride dress like a lady and monsters look for prettier things oil stains dripping through the elbows of my shirt writes working man sonnets across noir alley doorways named Touch But Don't Tell keep quite and use the suggestion box and don't blame me for chromosomes genetic randomness isn't my fault biochemical cocktails don't drown babies you just fill your bathtub with them why do you need life jackets to fill my shirts empty your oil can and get a promotion so you can buy your own I'm tattered sheets stuffed over hotel window rails you're a frail damsel selling dreams I won't buy, I peep keyholes save digital copies and call the cops stop screaming and let me save you your fingers compress a sweaty glock rioting my stomach your tones too ******* loud remember I loaded the bullets so at least credit me the shot beads of blood and sweat whisper cat o' nines tails see I'm your martyr but only on favor street.
