We Do

We sit staring at the Sun wishing you were here wishing we were anywhere anywhere but here We want for the taste of human desire salty sweet and creamy with the spirit of She We ride like crazed urban cowboys We take no prisoners as we clang across the ticky tacky asphalt with the sickly sweet city air in our teeth and in between drags from our outdated cigarettes … We cry We cry long and hard we cry and cry We shed these tears amongst close friends The sorrow is not for the world you see It is for us and only us We **** like rabid and wild animals We roll in sweaty filthy sheets and share a trickster form of companionship naked and lonely together for brief moments as we slam our swollen genitals into one another with only lust for we were never taught to love We roam from person to person from street to street from hapless moment to hapless moment like a dry and aimless desert wind We do nothing but kick up sand and dream We dream big and powerful and American dreams lovely dreams beautiful dreams lonely and hopeless dreams We dream of getting out We dream of getting in We dream with open eyes and gushing hearts We sometimes feel deep within our beating chests that these dreams could one day be but they are visions of a world we will never see We sit staring at the Sun wishing you were here wishing we were anywhere anywhere but here
