Foul-mouthed, little foreigner. Could have had some more of her. Might have had too much of her. Ended up not touching her. Alright... Tidal wave, wrapped in plastic Stinging jellies, shivering spastic. Dreamt I kissed her mouth and tasted crooked teeth, all cherry basted. Alright... And as we wound around the reef, I was shaking like a leaf. I think I saw what lies beneath... Foul-mouthed, little foreigner. The specter of a racing heart. The spirit moved by poison dart. And starting down a blood-stained street, red splotches on concrete. I was shaking like a leaf, was so dramatically inclined. Beneath the fan-shaped neon sign. A lionfish with flashing spine. Alright... Cherry basted, crooked teeth. So much of this beyond belief. I think I saw what hides behind... Beneath the fan-shaped neon sign. A lionfish with flashing spine. I think I saw what hides behind. Alright...

Buses, taxis, scooters, bikes, jostling for position, shifting, moving left and veering right. Pecking order understood and wayward scattergoods discouraged. Rules are followed, following and leading, drifting toward the center. Blinkers blinking, horns are honking. Bigger ones are non-responding, merging into spaces forming by the smaller ones dispersing, by the smaller ones dispersing. Let's go... Buildings here and structures there and destinations everywhere and get to where you’re going quickly... Know your place and trust the others. Move along and just keep moving. Move along and just keep moving... That's right... Metro-manic stimulus, a bicycle behind a bus and squeezing through a tiny crack, maneuvering for traffic slack and waiting for the light to change and, when it does, we’re on our way. Hustling, tussling, curving, swerving, speeding, slowing, stopping, going. So exciting and unnerving. Blur of city lights like brushstrokes on a canvas we’re all sharing. Buses, taxis, scooters, bikes. Buses, taxis, scooters, bikes, and pedestrians… Let's go... Buildings here and structures there and destinations everywhere and get to where you’re going quickly… Know your place and trust the others. Move along and just keep moving. Move along and just keep moving… That's right... Buildings here and structures there and destinations everywhere and get to where you’re going quickly… Know your place and trust the others. Move along and just keep moving. Move along and just keep moving. Move along and just keep moving…

Some to hold some to ignore. In front of a 7-11, or caged in a store. Some of them big. Some of them small. Some of them friendly, or not friendly at all. I have one curled up on my bed right now. Some have collars. Some have chains. Some have water that needs to be changed. Some of them hungry. Some of them tired. Some have been disciplined by words or by wire. I left one dying in the street last week. I left one dying in the street last week. Some of them mangy, and others are shaved with streaks of pink and purple. Behaved. Depraved… Some have names, some come when they’re called. Some of them dodge taxis, while others fetch balls. Some to avoid, some to adore. In front of a 7-11, or caged in a store. I have one curled up on my bed right now. I have one curled up on my bed right now. I left one dying in the street last week. I have one curled up on my bed right now.
