So did you do it?
Yes. In my apartment.
Yes. In my apartment.
Was he drunk?
Things happen when it’s bottom’s up one too many times
Things happen when it’s bottom’s up one too many times
Top or bottom?
We were on a roll.
We were on a roll.
What did he scream when he came?
Oh God.
Oh God.
Was it good?
The body remembers well.
The body remembers well.
So you think he loves you?
Where there is lust, there is love. I think.
Where there is lust, there is love. I think.
So where is he now?

For once in your life,
consider not running.
consider not running.
The morning burns
but the escape down the hall
but the escape down the hall
leads to more fire:
cars that smog
cars that smog
the pavement of feet streetlighting
the cold concrete slab –
the cold concrete slab –
the scorch, the scorch…
You know how it feels,
You know how it feels,
the scorch.

Let the morning rush.
Let the morning rush.
Let the morning rush.
Let the morning rush
the cars, the concrete,
the cars, the concrete,
the slab, the smog,
the street, the light.
the street, the light.
Let the morning rush
the scorch, the scorch,
the scorch, the scorch,
always the scorch.
The escape down the hall waits.
The escape down the hall waits.
But please, let the morning rush
past us.
past us.

Was last night the last night?
Can we exist beyond this room?

The morning rushes.
You stand up.
You stand up.
The morning rushes.
You stand up.
You stand up.
The morning rushes
you…
you…

…stand up
and rush last night away
And all I am.
Is an apartment
Is an apartment
of honking screams, cloak and stagger,
up and bottom, rush and roll,
up and bottom, rush and roll,
and the scorch,
always the scorch
always the scorch
of the morning after.
