*from* Hermeneutics



              in

caught        the narrative thread
   slicing potatoes

                             [these are the meals I would make you]

              He says *go away* to his phone!

                                                            each kitchen a
form of the eternal kitchen

Madison is a place where

              [composing by the sink]                              let me
encode you

in some of my symbols
   CHRIST IS REAL BRO

                             hogging the requisite pain pills

and pumping in bedroom music                             excitement is the
thing itself

                                          no more brides in the schoolyard

                             [and my heart it goes all the way down]
