I throw up
to you
tonight

skin

lost

looking for someone
to cover

and protect
keep warm

ai got u
covered

ai got u
contained


ai got u
inside

ahm skin
I have all of you
in me

think macrophage
think semi
conductance

I am conducting
what

I am conducting
what

breaks beats
ka

thump

the whale of time
slides against me
while I type

cells abraded drift along
I am there too

singing ahm always singing
aginst

this unlettered gut

this superior knowledge
that
knows
this aint
according to the rules
poetry

I reach for the rule book
it's stupefying
sense

reject
sanity

reject
order

refect
wearing your undershirt
inside out

they are not all here
just us gast
ones

just us
crast
ones

*****
in a couplet

hungry
in a rhyme

desperately
killing

in a ******
fever

until I wake up
sordid

out somehow
to a chaparral

and a tumble
to tomorrow
that *****

she haunts
today
like Thursday
