Arrhythmia*
Ephemeral dreams of a heartbeat.
Identification card of skin.
Exchange places with light.
You're your own rat
But you didn't bite all over.
Go stalk someone in your own car.
She may be expecting you on time.
Audition for a commandment
But don't expect orders from me.
Hands get stiff without practice.
Do you want it?
If so, how?
What address do you use
When you talk to yourself
In the dark?
This game's rules are made by you.
A fait accompli, or not.
It's not a knot to tie
Either of us down
But to each other
For a long or little while.
The more complicated your lies are,
The more difficult their resolution.
