cocaine

weigh my weight in body parts like math talk
and go for the heavy arms first or the other heavy arms

never said my brain would work faster than the sun moves
or faster than movies come out about the same fast movers

and crash crash like you could worry as much as i worry
or think that being awake is less of a step towards dying

and sun shows up again without the warning of smoulder smell
while you consider how many words will rhyme with spider-bite

or how many swear words you can write and erase and write
or how many birds do that thing where you can stay in the sky
