Given at the beginning of the birth of a heart
Or the death of a heart & he said
“The end was as easy as the beginning” &
“If you follow the game plan & stake the posts,
Spike the ball & put someone else at forward…”
Now, Ari feels a draft fog coming over him on the firing range
And the gun barrel succulent is a fakeout
To the discotheque violation of early ’88 rap
Song bongo beat freak, dancing at the Valley Mall
Loving the savage heart of TXT girlfriends
And over-the-hill, thrill-a-minute vacant torsos
He is left negatively charged & positively violent
By the sunny summer sunny punchline heartline drop off

She schemes in black & white but wants colored things
Wears a sailor’s traditional hat on weekends but never roughed the sea
It is for these reasons she smells mostly like Whole Foods
Speaks French as a second language & signs her name with a heart above the “I”
In school she was the one you could go to for weed because her brother
Still drove that Camaro he kept going with magic & metal through the grunge rock days
And still, you’ve made out with her at the end of the party, last kiss of the night
Both sitting there discussing philosophy not realizing that by the very act of discussing this philosophy
You were undoing its foundation & making a case for existentialism
Which is precisely the reason flowers belong in pots
