decline of the western civilization (adoration): downfall circa 1945

sheet the sheet darling the sheet
pull the sheet over our arching bodies
and make sure the sheet falls under the comforter
you more comfortable knowing that the sheet
protects the comforter from our juices, the sheet
prevents you from washing the bulkier of the two, i know
you more ready to break open my pearls make them weep
as long as sweaty dust is caught by that sheet

cocaine new year's eve darling it's only an evening
slide the gauze over the distance between our bodies
and cradle this agnostic embryo into an opiate of eggshells
you self righteous knowing that the problem
of addiction encloses my dry night, your life
your cavalier boyhood prevents remembering, i know
you more ready to bend your elbow close that arm's distance
as long as i'm the only one with thirst around here
