WITH FEELING THIS TIME

everyone who passes through the house of James plays a part in their second story story Nick is not of the kitchen but he’s ghosting there and he tries he tries with words he tries with dance he tries so hard we barely see him! James is thirsty! and that’s the other story... He's drying cocaine on an old gas cooker when ‘Phelie blows in on a colleague o’ Koz Bar leaves hi poising cat-ready on a brown couch on a couch that remembers no shape though she tries she tries to make an impression on our blurred nerves too beginning with alrigh' which is hi too but with feeling this hi assumes we know drama gril and da Richmond crew And I try to say I mean I am trying to say the couch remembers no shape I have no memory of drama teachers or michelle yelling again darling with feeling this time then she tells me what *a lonely time it has been since the…addiction -* michelle poising there upon the word like a Lepidopterist’s pin on au-then-tic-i-ty - isn’t it enough that I said it? now that it’s a dead thing it spreads its terrible wings and 'Phelie double drops her second story hello hello we lean into a kiss hello her lips are not dry though she smokes her mouth un-wet she tries to say hello by laughing at I've given up not-smoking and we talk and kiss a fresh hello undress hello touch hello leading to a breathless hello hello hello and now I am saying, again darling with feeling this time
