so it’s just been seven days, no rumour, october november
december no word from the ants running down the arteries of telephone land i’ll
drive up will you be there to pick it up? need the lazy eye from the newspaper
tell me, sandton – it isn’t a real place now is it?
because my horse is fixed my eyeteeth licked my tensions ready for your violent
cities
with their boobytrapped canyons rescue rescue 10111
your fears for my years are obvious in your tears
like I’d rate you slate you bait you release you never on a leash rip
you back from the track of your attack in the bottles and the throttles of speed
liquor and light at the end of the downward rabbit slowslow down the N1 joburg
at my back your body back home down the rabbit hole
mix my drinks with the sex of your quick-quick saddleback buck fuck kiss in
the hiss in the deep of the night late stage of the fight pupils of light ain’t
the weak it’s the mighty, yeah, who’ll drive?
fall on the small of my back crack a rib from your grip slip slip slip it’s
the nature of the game it’s the same in the bottles and the throttles
of speed and liqour and light at the end of the downward rabbit hole mole hole
slowslow rabbithole rabbithole rabbithole slowslow down the N1 joburg at my
back your body back home down the rabbithole – seven days, no rumour,
october november december, no word from the ants running down the arteries of
telephone land.
