*you slither as you pass,
you slip away across the universe...

We hung out our tongues on our heads
licking slopes of e's in words
obscure, coherent and feasible
from a research book
for a moment my tongue got stuck in your
paragraph
I was elsewhere
I was somewhere humid
I was somewhere a boy is blowing a horn
a girl beside him preying on his analogous colors
I tried untangling the flesh from the bone
Only that they twined even tighter
I was elsewhere
I was somewhere a boy is putting on mud putty
sealing AC leaks
a girl across growing hairs to the ceiling
spelling the word feasible like l-a-t-e-r
