notorious
kerry
I
sat
on
a
picnic
table
with
my
pen
flaring
for
all
of
Dekalb
Avenue
to
see
.
The
grass
was
fleshy
and
fake
-looking, shiny;
with
a
grimace
I
thought
of
him
,
how
drowned
my
mind
was
in
all
of
it
and
how
the
skyline
faded
just
as
my
eyes
stretched flexing
to
latch
onto
something
.
The
snorting pug
was
wiggly
beneath
me
,
kids
all
over
Atlanta
sipping
battery
acid
out
of
Dixie cups
in
their
cars
,
and
dousing
their
hair
with
perfume
.
Men
danced
jangle
around
fire
pits
in
the
croaks
and
heat
of
drums
,
shaking
out
all
their
inner
dialogue
, scraping
and
thrashing
it
off
like
a
peel.
“
We
took
pills
together
.”
She
is
notorious
for
being
fat
.
We
switch
lives
instantaneously.
Locked
in
armor
of
sleep
, panels
of
jade
like
domino
pieces
, comatose
slumber
-bumbling,
I
’ll
try
to
figure
out
why
they
have
such
a
hard
time
laying
their
heads
down
until
that
certain
hour
.
