i’m allergic to exercise; i start breaking out ‘n sweating ‘n gettin’ hot flashes-
the way u moved towards our future love/romance was so not okay; u
acted as if u were molasses traveling down the side of an evergreen
n mid-february...
whereas i was and still am- though admittedly to a much lesser degree-
cracked, methed, sped up
over our/this love
love,
let us
start over
let us
begin again
we can even pretend
that we just met
we can even reconfigure
our figures, reinvent our
minds, redesign our
destinies
rebuild each and every flaw 2 our personalties,
erase then replace our ill-fated fates
with lucky, happy, y free
realities
see, we love one another-
see-mira, mira- look
we can certainly, most definitely re-write this book,
we can absolutely tear out every unwanted or
unnecessary page until we create
a story we would long, we would want
to read
and we can flip our book’s leaves simultaneously
until we
end up on the same page
atop this same sane stage
we can feel our sanities
beginning to slip
into an oblivion
of innocence
lost, sin got, ‘n beauty forgot-
en
so let’s confess our sins, write out our crimes
on this asphalt, upon the pavement
in blood
let’s etch our dreams in vegan ice cream
then leave the quart-size cartoon
out in the sun
let’s use what is left of our blood
to compose a sonnet, no- a
symphony atop this city
street
then come nighttime
we can
highlight our good and
honourable intentions
let’s copy then
paste it
to our foreheads; tattoo this on our ribs,
chop it all up into little tiny whiny pieces
then eat it, then regurgitate everything
mix it in this here blender
strain it in that there strainer
then drink it down after mixing
a cocktail using ‘it’ as the
main ingredient
we promise that you’ll ‘feel it’ we recommend
drinking/eating this connoisseurs concoction
at least three times a day-
once each moment before brushing teeth
and it certainly wouldn’t hurt if you awoke
from a deep sleep, fumbled for the keys,
then stumbled into the kitchen
jest to open the fridge then drink
the remnants of ‘it’
