The fever gives me fever
              just as knowing which way to lean 
in a monsoon is a dance you
                              learn the hard way
 wrecked on something that 
                                                does the trick, like 
                              it don’t scrape the soul from the
              pavement (love’s 
                              broken tooth smile
              & crushed veins
                                                looking like malaria
                              wrapped in $20 bills
