everyone knows the stepbrother will crush the king’s skull, the ceremony to cut power in half, the diminishing halves of influence, how things work here, the seats for those in bad positions, at least it would be a clean death, the eyes of washing machines, cameras of the king, mannequin attack on behalf of the king, no point in hiding, breaking apart, dealing with the king behind the curtain, the competition for the ring, being your burger queen, the queen does the ceremonial thing, touching the place the queen mounted,
is this the queen?
drawing water in the blow up tub, announcing the snake queen, deceiving the snake queen, I prefer your dairy king, the salt bath incident, snow and its salted piles of use, an exquisite jump rope made of salt, robbers and boxes, homemade salt babies, pretzels, popcorn, wealthy uncle, salted juice, child-like actor adorn, following the pose and photo, following weight and protocol, following rotted face spirits, surgery in a marble tub, cookie pieces, the Devil into a parking garage,
follow me into the classroom, follow the leers, follow the menus, follow anything, the unanswered anything, anything close, anything to keep them in line, in line for crackers, in a line to get excited about, in line to warn, lines of garlic, rust, along those lines,
don’t forget them, they’re yours
