the pirate radio told us
what was going

down.

i listened to Jarvis and then,
pushed you out of my head.

elbowed you through
all my back doors.
keep on moving.

can't you see if i could be
anything i want to be
i would be you -

in a mirthless moment
find myself in your head
instead and peel back
the layers of thought you

wrap
wrapt me
in.

a treacherous game,
this hide-and-seek.

do you know the right
adverb?

it's not

simultaneously.
