​sharing one-bed room // hotel bolts down all fixtures other than clock // a vacation by Tirestires Lyrics

Dad and I jaywalk by old buildings
We look new, then drivers swerve
Bird shit coat statue holds opera glasses

Dad mimes same gesture, I hold frame
She vibrates lens, pair pic blurs
GPS lines us alongside fence and concrete mixer
High brightness screen

Sunblock crusts sparse split-ends
Sunblock crusts sparse split-ends
Sunblock crusts sparse split-ends
Sunblock crusts sparse split-ends

Contrasts sun glare and drains map
As we seek charge, hotel finds us
He peers down hair clog sink, then calls help
Floors up

I mix message her, sleep cycle-less
He rolls around restless, near nude
I compare his spasm to close eyes her
Her phone auto-corrects mess
Sun burn bald spot flesh peels
Sun burn bald spot flesh peels
Sun burn bald spot flesh peels
Sun burn bald spot flesh peels

Last asterix text cites my sleep talk
Thick walls house as hum
On balcony, awake babes and mates rouse squeals

I toss clock out open window
Other fixtures bolt down
Last, cord sinks, town surrounds river
Water reflects and churns tower glow

Dad skin strips and sags off
Dad skin strips and sags off
Dad skin strips and sags off
Dad skin strips and sags off
Dad skin strips and sags off
Dad skin strips and sags off
Dad skin strips and sags off
Dad skin strips and sags off
