Itch<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are two lonely people in a pool
\nof pox, always coming together this way;<\/p>\n

it took you this long to copy the brown
\nmess I called a face, going through<\/p>\n

a rough patch, I made the most jokes
\nabout how fortunes came together<\/p>\n

for you, like a heap of loose rocks
\nstanding like a mountain, we borrowed<\/p>\n

birds to stay silly, called a chugging
\nengine a Porsche,<\/p>\n

drew bulls in gardens with a house
\nsmoking chimney on the far side,<\/p>\n

we hung clouds close to the ground
\nand decided the best way to stick<\/p>\n

around in each other\u2019s lives would be
\nnever to meet, or maybe meet one day<\/p>\n

when the closets in your home had doors,
\nbut meanwhile find a way to relate<\/p>\n

through the exchange of itches and screams
\nfrom the call of the pox.<\/p>\n
