Now I mean what I see
in an angry dream of you,
the one with slim green eyes
and stories the size of youth.
I swear my eyes are in keeping
with the beauty of you
as you sweep away brightly.
It's a nightmare move of sorts
with its nickel of spent dolls.
Although you are too close
for me to see, I turn
into myself without falling.
Where the street crosses your mind,
we are haunted by it
and slip into the slick
animal that drives us.
Tags at the end stain
us with its name.
The thrust of what comes to us
is a girl juggling dimes.
And a space that backs the black
opposite of what we need
is why we have these seats
and will always seem to be crying.
