recycle the cracks, creaks, cuts /
married between acts /
after the surgery, we slept /
drying our mouths /
with filtered air from yesterday /
the city has a plan in /
the time capsule from 1967 /
administrators have died /
with the secret in their molars /
clicking at night in code /
savouring the possibility of betrayal at their desks /
mouths too full with lunch box /
to scream out loud /
there is a pill /
on every WELCOME mat in the neighbourhood /
drops through the ceiling at dinner /
reappears in the morning /
polished by foggy dew /
ready for the children growing /
the CEO drives the school bus /
turning the wheel with soft elbows /
dictating memos to stop signs /
no right angle is too sharp /
seatbelts tucked in the glove compartment /
buckle up is a game for adults /
a 2-for-1 coupon at every stop /
two tongues for any occasion /
everyone leaves the sun eventually /
says the corner jesus /
lend me your eye for the beast /
it has difficulty reading the street signs /
sliding under its haunches
