That They Should Never Weep

she was trying to pin me with wet willy wet naps lost caps
keep back dry and ears safe from sidewalks
the fourth of july to me his suggestive slugs
and pauses before speaking looking guiltless coveting while eyes pitch off glass
your girlfriend's blue eyes, and best disguises
so call me silly sweetie are at best a busy building of anxieties thumb
twiddling stick 'em ups when cd's were badgest our shadows race to catch us
as we pass by the streetlight
try it it's a test gown
