loose threads

a smattering of things

  • Last night I searched for you in the surf
    In waves that flooded a house on a cliff
    All I could see was the chimney barely breaking the surface
    I thought of you inside those four walls
    Tumbling in the waves amid your things
    I woke up just as I reached that barely there chimney
    My fingers falling through nothing as I tried to grab anything real

    What if we kissed in the Oscar Mayer wienermobile and we got so into it that we accidentally started the wienermobile and it moved forward, lurching through the city streets like an ungodly worm while two humans writhe inside? What then?
