In August I convince my lover to love chips
he buys 4 bags of 4 kinds on NYE
4 a party of 4 roommates
grocery outlet is selling sparkly corn stalks
across the street a man does push ups
toes above his head flexed against
the storefront
John Lennon + AQUA smashed together
imagine all the I AM THE CANDY MAN
people/ living for today COMING FROM BOUNTYLAND
periwinkle candle hollows
in the air purifier wind
a skin of glacial shards
reaching for the next room
no drinks ever taste so good
as those mixed maternally
by men
so true
ReplyDeletei might need a diagram of how those push ups were performed
ReplyDeleteyeah it was really stressful to try and write! basically he was an upside person in either a track suit or a suit-suit, hard to tell, palms against the sidewalk, feet against the building almost straight above his head. push ups were f-a-s-t!
