in hiding,
there is an order that
r u n s
i shy off to make sure you'd miss me;;
& you
follow.
& you
always do
'the hat is cute,' you say
'but it gets in my eyes when we danceclose'

& i nurse another beer away from cold
&& i say
that's the point
that's the order of things
that's just the way things run
& just because i want to
doesn't mean i will.
so send over your vampires, baby
stretch my arches with your heels && i will love you harder than you have ever known,
if you want.

that's something with a system.
that's something without a name--
&& this hat goes over my eyes because
i know you'd know i know
