College city
tiny pond
she and I we smoulder
the local swan
my amazon
with coathanger shoulders

When all your nights are starry blurs
will you remember me?
When all your friends are photographers
will you remember me?

I refuse
to reminisce
needle cracks and tape hiss.
Blue tattoos of
the things I miss
are they bruise or cicatrice?

Walking by your window, I called you for the first time
“yeah, the one who spilled my drink on you last night.”
and in my underlit apartment, you let me paint you by the flame.
I’ve painted you a hundred times and still can’t sign my name.

When all your nights are starry blurs
will you remember me?
When all your friends are photographers
will you remember me?

I was on tour checking into a hotel. It was a highrise. I had a bag, it was a suitcase, doesn’t matter what kind of suitcase. I got into the elevator and you couldn’t simply push the floor, you needed some sort of code, there were all these weird symbols. Other people were getting it but I couldn’t figure out how to punch my code and so it kept going up until I ended up on the very top floor where there was a sort of high-end restaurant lounge where a number of things were happening… drinks were being served, someone was getting a massage…i left my bag and shoes in the foyer to take a look and when I got back my bag was gone. I spent a lot of time looking for the bag, with the staff’s help. They were helpful…very servile, and eventually found my bag in a concierge closet or something. I asked someone to come help me punch out the elevator code for my room and when I looked at my shoes where I had left them next to the elevator, somebody had shit in my shoes. Parse that.

My dad had a dream last night and let me type it out. -Z
