            “Was that a train that just went by?” he asked.  Travel expenses.  sound burst   cloudy day     sunday   sunny day    morning day   noon day    non-day    night day

night and day    weren’t you listenings he “says” this time     nothing like a day       please

stop looking away     nothing gets you down more than a miscommunication     little miss commune joined the sorority last month    couldn’t get up in the morning     couldn’t get it up in the morning     so that day  we just didn’t raise the flag     i’m sorry i couldn’t make the cut this week

                        purpose or accident         purposeful accident                         accidentally

            we jumped                                                                                         speaking

            a pick-up                                                                                            night

            make you                                                                                            into the back of

            in the morn                                                                                         line would

            i want you to kiss the nape of my neck                                               feel better

“it’s like he said,” he said              it’s just like he said it

 

are you paid for this?  time ain’t worth my money    a likely reply   a usual repose       ant

can?     cannot.    

 

“walk?”                                                                                                                  “cannot.”

 

transition to dears in a flower patch    a flower patch     with deer in it      two loved ones huddled in the flowers     hiding in the weeds      dears the two of them      some deer frollicking     this happens     give me a bass solo now    in the distance     it comes from

elsewhere      someone was approaching

 

                                                                  with a stereo on really loud            that’s what we were all hearing today     today is today    another time maybe simon     a noon day night day perhaps     or another day perhaps       i’ll look for you

 

and later you look for me
