Fondling a treatment brochure
as if fondling yourself
No spotlight on no freebird
no shirt off in no yard
You want to like it like it’s
what you like to like
Like boring is a business & you
its custodial customer
Homemade baskets cradle baskets
Each prison breaks to be alone
Hustling the vein doctor
as if hustling yourself
We can repeat this as long
as it fakes
Repeat this like the sound
of one hand shaking
unechoed in a see-through stall
