Free Advice From My Favorite Star

when
i first
met you in
that sandstone beluga whale state of moving out of
countries and out of this world! oh my gosh, when i first
met you eye contact and all, oh my gosh
was the only gosh! i could find was
the one in my mouth like a free sample
of you and every day after that shock of stopping
to meet me
let’s sit on the side of a sidewalk on the side of a wide wide road while you tell me the evilness
of bathroom floor donuts and bathroom floor expeditions into
how to never fall in? fall in love with when we eat in reading and writing
because i can’t help when food writes and speaks and sounds
more delicious than the time of day at the end of the week of days of wondering
how many donuts did you eat? each
while i was busy nibbling down there at the end of it all wondering
how to detox off bribery? we google search together because
it’s your first time on this planet on google because i find it easier to listen to
mister male man number 237856348562 who tells me because
it’s your first time on this planet i find it easier to kiss your eyes nose
cheek and watch
the waterfall of computer light trickle down your face and soak my bed
instead of taking you to see the real real ocean
where
i first
met you in
that five thousand paper feathers state of
moving into my bed my ocean moving into my bed
to meet you

let’s sit on top of each other with nobody on the bottom and you’ll let me pop your shoulder
in and out while you tell me to never
get a job for the free food you’ll find
myself in the poems of every custom er
in five thousand y
ears when they dig up me and my business of popping y our shoulder
in and out up from the ground they’ll have to put you in
ever y single poem about us they’ll have to put in
a disclaimer that nobody ever said the word
no in the entire time the world flew around before it became edible it became us
in a jar that i shake shake shake you out of my way! for the sake of another donut
for the sake of remembering the way you ran out of you just
to meet me.
