sit me on a bike
and pedal me somewhere
send me over the bridge, on my own
hold your headphones over my ears
adjust them a little too tight
make me hard of hearing
arrange me horizontal against the gravel roads
press your whole weight into me
walk between the cars and the railing, drag me
hold a hot torch over my leg's atlased bruises
sit me on your front porch
disregard the neighbours
force feed me consecutive coffee cups
make me stutter
remind me where the ground is
tell me I slept funny
the moon and the
house jumping
read me excerpts from last exit to brooklyn
ask me how many hours there are in a day
carve words into me
force me to cut my nails
drive me to crooked rivers
wake me up at 4.35am
don't give me excuses
sit me in the overgrown garden
push me over the fence
arrange me vertical
tell me to fuck off when you're sick of me
tell me to stop smoking
when I'm drunk
roll me a joint
forget to reply
if you're drinking
arrange me vertical
drive me out to gravel roads
forget how many hours
make excuses
carve words into my lungs
arrange me under the bridge
make conversation in the middle of the night
make conversation with the people whose heads are down
roll me a joint
on your front porch
on your rooftop
tell me to quit dreaming
read me excerpts from your paperbacks
press your whole weight into me --
your whole weight
send me on my own
tell me to fuck off
de-wheel the bike
walk into the cars, into the kerb
put me in a sequinned jacket,
pedal me somewhere
