EVERYTHING COUNTS IN LARGE AMOUNTS

so we remember never having faked it
talking at length about our hearts
lungs, kidneys and pelvic bones
the drawers full of clothes we had yet to smell
monogamy, we said, begins with the obliteration
of the other
you asked, what book are you reading
i asked, what book are you reading
the flight attendants all took turns
tightening the parachutes
the brothers karamasov, i lied
moby dick, you swallowed
where are we supposed to do it then
the blast doors spring open
we can do it in my fantasy
it is like breakfast and lunch in one
you said
