To Leave All Over You

Steven Karl

*

damn anthems! hands down! hands up!

*

shall we begin again?

*

what's wrong with us?

*

mint-stained fingertips fucked up beneath moonless night

*

pour you another? we're out of rum. how's about brandy?

*

that was a pretty dress you were in earlier


*

twitter/ emissions/ of


*

put the knife down. no citrus necessary.


*

tired of assimilation/ we'll stay brown

*

you be brandy breath

*

okay. wrong. all. wrong. fine. leave the glass empty.

*

despite need to stain it only last as long as you let it linger

*

shall we begin again? what's wrong with us?

*

some latent rock star tendency

*

some spring allergic rub eye red run nose red ache head itch

*

this is getting out of hand! music unacceptable! something more like chamber!

*

click. load. bullet please. click. load. bullet. please.

*

yes this piano is so cognitive

*

is this momentary or monetary?

*

what's your name again?

*

shall we begin again?

*

say a low thick-mooned night?

*

what did you say?

*

yes! you are right! this is much better!


*

to leave/ yourself/ all/ over/ me/ lights on/ or off/
