“Here’s something you’ve never heard before”

I had

So I stopped the telling, and pushed him over and

caught myself.

I’m telling you this now

because I’m not with other people

and haven’t been for quite a while.

‘Now’s our time’

There’s something you’ve heard before

I get it:

We’re not looking for rapture on a Thursday

or existential yoga

or soulcraft spin-classes

or daytime television

Here’s something you’ve never heard before

“The grey hands are scratching round,

They’re in the floorboards and around the corner,

They hushed the latch and bribed the doorman”

I stopped the telling, and pushed him over

and caught you.

You’re had.
