                    you ask                        ed me the time                          & my hands                          went to                                sleep

[aspergerhamburgerhamhamburglar]

an almost / so close,  dribbled drink choked toast--    a wish a miss a flicker flame,    a this not that my misspelled name--     a mumble / stumble         a blink too soon--               to wake up hungry,                    to lose the moon.

humanity / insanity, i've got my blue genes on--

     twice upon      a time,      candy-coated        home video,                (rewind--  your body    is a postcard,     god's narrow        graveyard--

an electric breath, pearly dentist death--   spiritual tic-tacs       bridgework / crack/ed

[aspergerhamburgerhamhamburglar]

it always comes back, to/o (i dress in blue, prints-- blemished /   beginnings & becomings,

    inked on rainy        daze, a winded winter--                vein maze / blood bathed,

 dancers in the    mirrored dark,     a band-aid serenade--           it always comes back         to a maybe monday,         maybe sun rays--                   a clockwork                           blade 

[aspergerhamburgerhamhamburglar]

i look across train tracks,        ((choo choo

    beneath     bed sheets / ghosts skinned                        a( live

 i hear you      under      pillows &         blistered bridges--              water blushing / waves of wine                                       bleeding from mousetraps

midnight snacks--      a trail              of crumbs                            [   leading                                           me off                                                the edge]

i see us, together / a silent film-- tied to the train tracks _ _ _ _ _ _

[aspergerhamburgerhamhamburglar]

achilles (heal / ed-- i put yesterday on the tip of my tongue & it dissolved  when your eyes ate through me--       your teeth tasted                 of bricks & butter, 

        toothpicks / needles         in a haystack. 

it seems my socks are slipping down-- barnyard bones, your bow with endless arrows--

     toothpicks / bodies      in a ghost town. 

[aspergerhamburgerhamhamburglar]

revolving door lovers/ i keep sucking on locks & bobby pins, i keep tucking myself in at night with unwashed sheets of glass--

   i can't see my deceased dreams          but i can taste the blood/ i can feel            yesterday's dirt stuck between our teeth.  

   the finish line is flossing     blue velvet echos/ arms wide open--             already sinking                on land/ i may                         as well                         close my eyes.

i sneezed stars a+cross our droopy eyed sky-- gesundheit) broke my body int[w]o a Z,

   our limbs in limbo/ lips                              on edge,,,,

constellation conversation                         word                            s                          jump                            ing from my                              jaw                        bridge built of                                skittish bricks,

splat.splat. skinned memories &your (e fatal                melodies-- 

          prayers bleeding out on                god's welcome mat.
