the subtlety of my charm
given the nuance of his spite

appear in the bathroom steam

I enjoy surrounding
myself with those
to whom I can

without exerting

Everyone around stares
at plastic-silicon

while we gaze now instead –
we pour ourselves – into the timelessness
of sunlight on our foreheads
and upon each open palm
and parted lip

The songs we sing tonight will be pressed
onto small and platinum platters
the last of which will perish
many years from now
without so much
