special



special

Never close to death and further from life

Looking over the shoulder to copy answers

Orbiting dance floors like an irregular comet

The spit at the bottom of a beer glass

A collector of dead men drinking dregs

The photograph you burn was borrowed

The romance you had was second hand

Puking up Shakespeare because it was too rich to stomach

Fencing with chopsticks to pick up Basho

Who you choke on between mouthfuls of the always chosen special
