[the Writing of Kuypers]
the most ironic thing ever
and we were going to
you agreed to hold the camera
at one point you sat
we played a few songs
a punk-like song called
me singing the words
in the car accident
I don’t know if you were listening
but a part of me was mortified
with the camera, the Gulf of Mexico

Accident Recollections
is when you came with us
to the beach
record us playing songs
with my little video camera
while he played the guitar
and I sang cover songs
on his guitar case
and held the recorder
but I felt terrible when
we decided to play
“wave of mutilation”
you were recording
“drive my car into the ocean”
shortly after I almost died
to the words
(or if you could hear them)
about what you might think
after you heard me sing those words
and the sounds of the ocean
in the background.
