do you recall when we were young?
we licked the summer's salty tongue.
do you remember in our youth?
we sought the sky's amphetamine truth.
(at the waterfront after the social) a carnie sold me two roses:
one that lisped one that hissed sugar foam
and love song needles i slipped them through your fingers,
but they just crawled up both your arms and whispered...
and that phosphorescent laugh drip dropped from your lips...
they said "oh teen ruby fiend, open those thighs,
show us the urchin inside!"
your gown gangrened down your hips.
reached out towards the oyster ships.
i pulled you closer for a kiss but the roses paved my lips
and made my mouth a grave filled with promises...
"i'll forget you when i'm famous baby...
i'll forget you in five minutes from now..."
