improbable romance 12

Billie, you're a

minor planet

a strawberry in my hand an

electron cloud

desperate to discharge

your tin, sweet noodle, rockets

you flush the atmosphere then

clutch and spiral you're

the last doctor

in my hospital because

after your accident

(I can see it coming)

your heart on ice will courier to

my gaping chest

but now

you smoke and jitter

the spotlight roves and you run to catch up with it

you mime in time, my dancing bear

you're all my history imploding into juice

why can't you get out of

my pocket?
