night gamblers 

There was dinner glass under your Rooms2Go. These were lamps we had all seen in the 
catalog. You’re drunk and I wish I was but somewhere there are still coat hangers on the 
floor. They’re putting their shirts on, the way we slip into our desired selves before 
meeting in the dark. & I’m outing you as the night gambler, placing bets on each ATM to 
take your half chewed debit card. I wish it was just the alcohol, but this might be my new 
normal. I tried dancing with the animals to decrease blood’s osmolarity; I already know, 
this is worse than when I taught you swing in the street. There’s more red under your 
shirt than the lights over it, and I’ve been looking for six weeks to glow up your bones, 
their paint chips in a small apartment. In the morning I’ll be taking the shirt off the 
hanger, make an act of putting on my I’m-more-than-a-piece-of-shit face. Maybe 
tomorrow we’ll find our antecedents, maybe tomorrow maybe tomorrow we’ll be out 
before the rain breaks.
