Cursive Proverbs from Famous Lunch by Chris Acker

Back tat peaking from the left of her strap
cursive proverb under the flag
she is pumping gas in the august air
her bumpers asking me why I'm still here

all this time this time i drive
injury lawyers on the pine tree line
i was pissing on some bubble gum
like a brain spinning cartwheels where its stuck

i get so tired that i see tails
on words that i know are still
until i feel like i can't spell

manufactured addiction
to a grid full of pictures
i can endlessly fantasize
all my friends undress online

i hold it close up to my face
and fall asleep in a crooked shape
and i'd like to be on rocheblave

with the the back door open by the stove
big dumb house in the window
doing dishes in the glow

all this time this time i drive
injury lawyers on the pine tree line
i was pumping gas in the august air
smells like the underside of a fingernail
