you are cherry now and later’s®
before it gets all rat poison
in my gut I’m gonna lie down
on the sidewalk in front
of your apartment & pretend
it’s railroad tracks. I been
walking up & down your street
since like 1992. now all
I think about is you &
you know I’m sweet on you,
would sing my favorite mr. t
experience songs to you over
the telephone. you can call me
anything you want but I am not
your saltwater taffy & sometimes
you shuttlecock me. I think
about sleeping with you in
the sleeping pill heart of the afternoon:
wanna wiretap your clavicle. dance
church clothes. rhythm your blues.
