Frozen Together
Janet Kuypers, 12/21/09 so i’m sitting at the corner stool of a bar no one ever goes to holding my scotch on the rocks it’s scotch for now, anything to numb the pain so i swirl my drink clock-wise in my hand watch the liquor swirling around watch the ice cubes spinning in circles and try to get you out of my head because when you came in, you came in like... like something that you can’t escape like that beat from the dance bar that’s stuck in your head that makes you want to move together in time or like your eyes, the color of the sky or was it the ocean that i could drown in like bright sunlight just after dawn seeping past the window blinds forcing me to attention to respond to you like bright sunlight seeping its way past the window shades in this bar as i swirl the ice in my glass now frozen together a disc swirling clock-wise ‘cause the scotch is gone it’s gone like you but i can’t get you out of my head so this time maybe i’ll have jack |
