by Scout Faller
stained as we are with forgetting. sitting like an idiot and with your one spoken language, american english, a poorly fitted coat. hair flat, face to the sun like you knew all her names before addressing her. dripping with the exigence, a snotty bitch—reaching for the coffee cup in a way that implies you're well read. clutch with red lizard skin on gold hardware. lime kiln road, dew drop inn. the nose of your car, assed out in traffic. deleteful as we are. nosed with the ass out and forgetting. snotty for the coffee cup, the sun well read and speaking one american english. dripping with lime in our hair, pretty in a lizard skin, kilns are all namely idiots and clutched in gold address. trafficked for a stain. addressed to the exigence. implications of a coat, knowingly, bitchy as it sits. names of dew drops drips inn.
