Love

Lip-service
Five days and a half

They loathe, they learn
They trick, they tire

Lip-service
Five days and a half

Your Signature Tune

I claw at this playback
of falsetto notes
on late night radio
by an overpaid, self-sure jockey

The Party

You leave behind an aftertaste of badly fermented smooth-talk;
Today the government guarantees your right to free speech,
Tomorrow, mine to file writ petitions.

Invitation

Share my stare
Dare my face
Pace my ink
Think, sink
