Supercareful

Cull the unwashed spirits in your skull
Come and watch some basketball with me
The quarter’s almost through!

Soon, the reservoir azaleas’ bloom
Will break this catatonic fugue if we are supercareful

You, as diaphanous as dew
Crucifix in the rear-view, honest and ethereal

Stay! And when the rain lets up, we’ll skate
And I can show you 808s and talk of evolution

I dug the retro diner coffee mug
Though the grounds collect like mud on ceramic seafloor
And ate the holy breakfast that you made
And watched you do your hair in braids, ever super careful
