a rap id deterioration

dumb ole owl
f-wit misinfo mash woo woo
gamble yr life ’cos a celeb says so

play an accordion as u walk across the sea
r u lucky?
or have u been pwned?

and if we were light enough
to breathe this air
to sing this song

if we were light enough
that marriage would not last

(of necessary invention)
(divine condescension)

then ask, answer
it’s an easy game

place one hand
in another, and so on

the next suggestion
lifts the top of yr head off

there is nothing inside

lyrical us, you might have said
as our feet
appeared beside us

our lives stuck in yesterday
a hole, a dimension

true lurve…

is binocular vision, good for a predator
no good for a horse or other means of transport
your great heat and weight beneath me

uncontrollable

if it is night
you’d never know
with only some lights on

the words in my underwear
chafing, virtuous tags
in the cloud of signs
