remember those nights
we placed hooks in our eyes?
waiting in our sleep
to catch the white tailed lies
that swam inside our bed
do you remember those nights?
we should, instead, have walked
the chrome stacked streets
that rolled like silver eels
amongst stub ends
sailing on tarry keels
in that vanishing space between
the night -clubs gaudy hush
and a needful capital morning rush
before the coffee,
before the bread,
before the morning headlines
but we chose hooks
do you remember?
