Perceptual Threshold & Emotional Ratings
Fast-forward-free-verse, whatever writing...
--
We used to
Swim in courage liquid
Staring strangers
Tripping over
The Chinese border
Searching for sex
Across the river
Until we can’t get enough
Rice eaten with hands
but who cares
when thresholds are ignored
1000 belly kisses
You’re the only one
So can we make love
Haiku after haiku
I sing to you
North Korean Pop
Noodles soup
We used to
Forget the rules
But now that we’re overgrown
I miss the card nights
On the kitchen floor
Would you join me once more
Before this haiku
Takes a long walk to U.S.A
Promised land I couldn’t share
Because you won’t come
You have mountains to paint
Paintings to mount
On new bedrooms
High rent
My time to cross
Fingers on lips
Bass chords were played on piano
I didn’t know what to say
What else could I possibly say
I f*cked up your heart
Sorry for my language
Language my mind
Mind your step
I can’t seem to let go let go
Your hand
When I cross between
Yesterday and tomorrow
Today, my mouthful of hours
Is taking a rest
And it comes and it goes
The heartbeat I longed to prove
