122712-122812, "For Riley"

Your best friends
are always the ones
you're a little bit in love with.

Ten year ago saw well water drunk down
with a scoffed curse that nothing
could bring you back for real;
but two musketeers,
glowing pyramids - backup spouses
afraid of weddings
real spouses afraid of how she might crack her head open,

I haven't had a cigarette in a month
but I'm really drunk. and it tastes like tea.

So dance with greater loves
who are a poem in a burrito.
and so tired.

But drive me home like I'm more precious cargo
than what's in the Versace box
or your hightops

Drive me home like I am the best idea you ever had

because your best friends
are always the ones
you're a little bit in love with.
