Saturday, July 10 KC, MO @ Riot Room (patio) 8pm w/ The Sluts + Thunderclaps

every noise a blade of grass… brushing away the fire ants

The elephant removes
His foot from my back

I awake
Legs V shaped ready for the world
Eyes like sparklers underwater

The ice is extremely then
But I will lose the weight
Required to skate by

I’ve learned a lot
From a fish’s eyes

Scheduling work
Outside the pain clinic

Sunshine disposal
A new zoo army

I hear the dogs barking
At the distant rain

A condescending smile
Perhaps I need it more than
I care to admit

Or perhaps I am just
Tickling myself in a mirror

The feather touches
My knowing under side

And then it floats away

I turn my head quickly
To limit the impression
Of the dead dog
On the side of the road

A sick and unknown feeling
Like the LL Bean return policy

I’m burning up
burning up for your love
And it smells like gym socks
And dusty headboards

Can’t complain
So I just let it soak
Into my dreams
Like a pudding cake
On a hot day

I saw a straight rainbow on the horizon
Perfect like a leaf

Laces on, I sweat it out in bed
So many rules to break
Except the cool ones

The fans run all night
But we are still hot and sticky

Gotta keep moving ’cause
There’s a hellhound on our trail
It bites us when we stop

It makes us bite back
Until we devour each other

And nothing is left but our bones
Intertwined,
baking in the sun
Like a bread stick
