will break down first,
risk harm, balance.
beware of
slurred speech

loving crevice, forty

lovers, quarrelers,
dancers, stumblers,
and the bridge-and-

friday night, half a

friday night, half a
drink down these familiar
streets, and i see your
reflection in every

that puddles –
a challenge to
dive, stir, or leap
