COMMUNITY:

I wish I was genius
And everything I did was fantastic

(K)

REFILLER:

Oh my banana
Sweeter than honey
Penniless but happy

(K)

DEALER:

Look at me!
Between A and B
Pressing Z
Go back a step
Oh my big boy!

(K)

OPTIMIST:

I’m a tightrope walker balancing
I think you can’t see me
But you can
Waving my arms around
Panicking
Trying to grab the sky

(K)

RACHEL:

But I was always afraid behind his car when he had driven
past alone in the red light with my imagination I heard
breathing the dark as I ran terrified back to his car
and jumped in to the sound of him laughing

(K)

BOB:

I was never afraid in the bright light of his headlights
where I knew he could see me I felt his protection

(K)

MARK:

He would put his breaks on for me to see in the forest
when I was little opening and closing the gates in fear
of the dark behind his car

(K)

HENRIQUE:

And when I arrive I open the gate and drive my car through
and close it in the red tail light red like my father’s
rear lights red

(K)

HERMES:

And I hope they’ve packed the brown crackers because
the white crackers don’t do it for me and they have and I drive
listening to nighttime radio slow between the trees that conceal
random animals that leap into roads

(K)

LEE:

They ask me how I am and ask me to touch my card to the machine
with the bad connection and we wait and touch again
