It wasn’t in the clouds that we should
get away that easy
the big fuck you of
Paradise
woven together with
strands of tidewater & regret
but tongue-tied & the way it looked in
Time magazine w/night sweats & silver
bullets all lined up like a firing squad
aloha blue highlight reels played
in reverse on a surface of crushed
aluminum & wet sand
Pretty pictures though…
I think I’ll get them tattooed
on my neck
that’s the way it works in Hollywood
