survival kit from spare parts by my sister grenadine

so how long since she
managed not to break your nose
and how short until
that day is long ago

i took the stairs up while
you waited for the elevator
to come down

could you please calm down


and how long since she
dropped no coins on
a kitchen table
some water was boiling

you took the long way through
the bathroom door
i stood there on a window sill
trying not to look down

could you please keep still


so how close to the
orange suburban skies
and how far from her
pulse running out of time

you stayed in the refrigerator
without a survival kit
i focused on the map to get where
they are selling sleeping bags


could you please stand in line
could you stand in line
could you please stand in line
could you please
could you
