protein buzz

green and red and lemon and salt
brown pot belly sparkles
why are we all so quiet and still?
what can i teach him?
false propriety
(slick your hair back!)
false adventure
how dare you!
how is it we are all still paying for this?
his hands move and i notice he has been standing there for a long time.

ridiculous
silver, my gay grandfather
should i feel guilty for writing when the whole point is about reflection?
i can't take my eyes off him...
she just doesn't like who you are

bat/kick/OW!
glittering empty full silence
i watched him approach, then nothing
love, satisfy, when things line up
(planets aside)
responsibility lies where?
lips swollen and burning
let the moment speak with its own power,
stop looking back

i couldn't find the one she was talking about
no one laughed
i just kept waiting for him to speak
frozen, when he looked into my eyes

go back in the corner
and dance by yourself
and for god's sake,
get yourself some new pants
