Let’s Take a Midnight Trip to CVS
Teeth full of pills pilled teeth teethed milligrams
chalk residue molar measuring tongued focus
balance canine cratering lungs dryswallow
when most don’t many too teeththroated
teethbitter bliss sidewalkedoodled tastebuds
blooddrawn maps my veins where I
pinpoint places to beg and you
teeth off each one.
"You better hold on tight, spider monkey."
green stab | skin bouldered | cradle
tinted death | armed
forest cracks
needing | domained |
fluorescent illuminates
hell | hole glance glitter-
spat | pale- coastcloud
break | a zoom curious |
saying out | loud
siphoning spidered
