Zipcar Date

zip car date
she takes me there with her calm tone
we're in this forever, together alone
she doesn't like being touched
so we hold phones,
bluetooth to mouth
like Tristan and Isolde
we're trying a new
socially conscious bar
where the waiters are paid nothing
cocktails, recycled
going to her apartment
she puts on a map of the world
I touch her in all the
trouble spots
getting a text from zipcar central
overdue on the current rental
drone deposits me in
detention for debtors
it all starts again with
the bike-share cycle

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
