on your computer
looking at pictures of the ocean
looking at pictures of the woods
behind your house
the odour of sanctity
still creeping through the floorboards
while ghosts of ballroom lovers dance
beneath our feet
we measure intimacy
in tablespoons
the length of clipped cigarettes
and hard swallows
sweat soaked
something in the back of your throat
heart palpitations
like paint bucket drums
that strange men play
through the noise and conversation
outside shea stadium
and our lips wrapped up like magnetic vhs tape
you said most people spend their whole lives
trying to be as happy as they were
when they were five years
