bad date




how can I be the instrument of your being, sugar-bumps -
this low-tail existence permeates me, our dowry
is perchance the sweeticums of porno
but however this falls, I'm with you, baby

nothing absolute became that way by being
absolute - tricks and mirrors - like the idea of falling down -
I remember our first date, the dress -
all our longings side-tracked by misinformation

and misfortune - though we sang a lot
gliding into what we thought was love -
What the fuck was that? - and I listened and
we disengaged, pirouetting...

Though I've never mastered being malcontent,
it features in your eyes. As if I cry for every death in the world.
