Courting/Pause No. 1

Pick a sentence

between one and ten

You picked the same as the last

I can sing

Every word you say

 

I pushed a word in front of another

Adjusted the predicate to your advantage

 

I’ve written more words

Hidden under

Parallel lines

Than I have ones that are free.

 

I can sing

 

But my dancing is miserable

So the night

Will not go away*

(Pause No. 1)

*My eyes close the tightest

when this life is the brightest.

Philip V. Coombs 3-4am
