I said there was an extra nerve
a vein, a tiny muscle or something
at the end of his mouth
I said it was twitching
oh that? I dunno I’ve never noticed it
I had
thank god it was covered by flesh
that weapon of destruction
the spasm yelling
kiss me
I must be on my way he said
glad we caught up
glad?
fuck glad
and kiss me
but we were both too tired
too young at the time
too sleepy
we speechlessly
waved goodnight
