Gravity sucks freestyle at poetry reading, 2

Gravity sucks freestyle at poetry reading, 1

 

 This is how arms enclasp
this is pushing inward
this is how one pushes and sways
this is how they fell this is
how we grow - this is heavy shit
this is how you became a dead man - this is how
you rushed her way
this is the lake house/this is
my lake house
this is exactly how you get to my lake house
This is how you get
to the road to get to
the lake house this
is how you turn on
the car this is how
you get out the
door I don't know
how to get out the
door she said
this is how she said we
did it last year
this is how to close your eyes
    on stab
this is how to lock the door
this is how to stab
this is how you survive
a stabbing kiss the
victim don't be
the victim.
this is how this how the
        world should end
this is how we can already see it.

Paul Baumann 3:32 PM

Paul Baumann 3:40 PM
