Lightning to the East

          and to the west, scraped shins
a song or two about a broken heart inevitably and I push push push
this thing I can't touch          about face
about time          this terrible reason
in the face of it all       this disarticulated greed
and the orifices all around          all      around
comme ça      but I'm just not sure
       and this repeats and this repeats because it's late
(when will I get tired of this? soon soon)
      because it's late
I am inexplicably sad, or explicably everything
memory does not make sense, memory makes memory
it's all a tease          and the real moment breaks
the real story of your life a halting narrative, instance / sliced
put back together (uh-oh)       this disarticulated absence
         in which we collide
