+ more mopping / like aphid in your vein / on sunday / go with football helmet / or a migrant’s melody / never mind the fumes / our colleague who pulls / an e-cigarette / between the teeth / of heartland on the radio / in diploe even / rapping detailed orders / you’ve got a fist / full of basil / with lemon-lime soda / necklaces + hamsa / out to bathe / somewhere in the mud / kick rock / a puddle dripping / late + soon / it is only water rising / will the exodus be / apologue too
