tear apart the every greeting /
tanned hair on tanned hair /
spiraling around a toothpick /
standing in the street /
ready for the grand mouth /
practicing its hole for /
the commuter line leaking /
its own fluid onto the sidewalk /
shop spills in god’s lab warping /
the weekend with far too many /
atoms on the plate left after /
dinner dulled while a new species /
would not stop in its own language /
peeling off family wallpaper and sunny diplomas /
ranking the backgrounds of hinged heads /
smeared behind screens /
refreshing airless space between /
me and me and me and some me /
peeling the corner back on colour /
camouflage hiding uneven skin /
that pink shines throughout the night /
cursing the neighbours for their warm hands /
pour one more mouth /
drinking we forget teeth /
flashing for hard consonants across the street
