I sailed your severed skin savour
while smiling.
cupped hands
catching telescopes on time
like juggling Alvarez
throwing stones
at the temple gongs-
to quench what swells
while breathing. I could surprise your
mouth with mine.
follow touch
with touch
but in the door way
flounder-swimming half faced
into the sand
swimming primitive
the way i learned to do.
you couldn't make me flip
but that doesn't mean i can't.

the difference between here and there is
the tea I used to drink, during double shifts,
at that restaurant we all hated working at.
I called it the trinity;
mixing black tea, coke, and coffee together
made everybody's lips curl downward
made mine move money into pockets
to buy drinks
later
when the slip resistant shoes
were hung dry.
now I just drink and remember
what life was like when I didn't give a damn.
twenty three and taller,
twenty three and fucking like
the wold will end if we didn't.
