It's a long way down from your voice
especially in the humid dark
where I can't see the beautiful parts
that tremble as my face passes them
But either way it's worth it
A crasser man would say I get mine
and you get yours in this scenario
Like there's some kind of money shot
that made the effort
rather than the means being what we were after all along
For us it doesn't matter who gets to go first
or if our turns are days apart
There's no keeping score
or timing of each other
or worrying about making the finish line
or knocking off points
because it was sweaty in there
That whole trip down from your request
it's that first drag of a cigarette
the one that tastes the best
until you realize it's really a clove
and then you can't stop licking your lips
