(03.11.02)
shaking hands from too much coffee
concentrated cures for too little sleep
shaking hands with strangers we meet
calming me with conversation
i'm self-assured with sweating arms
sticking spoons to coffee mugs
filing phrases in a list of names
words are foreign
with certain lulls
i'm beauty in neon reflecting
off my facial expressions
expressing my smiles
in flourescent glows...
