i looked up at him from the gutter i was kneeling in. i could feel it. feet in. shit first. i wanted to be rolling in it. i grinned and let go. falling backwards into the universe, forgetting the constraints of time and space.

i felt a hypothermic chill sweep past my body. rain racing on sidewalks against the wind. mind wading in its pull. i could not race this cold serpent tonguing my back.

i felt myself smoking and crumbling like ash. i was a lit ember. wet faces floating by in a hazy mask. i saw wine glasses pouring out onto the road, spun in yellows and golds, somehow entangled in welled hubcaps. inching over white lines. weaving from dizzying asphalt. careening from metal spears and towered glass.

i saw myself from above. streets tangled and bent in an urban labrinth. i was here. i was here. here! in these towers, hopeless. shoulders tailored in a knotted formation. tense and modern. married to lies and signatures.

he slapped me. i was laughing. i could feel the drug in my nipples now. hardened. it wound around my back, splicing into my heart. i pulsed electric. i inhaled and it took my lungs, shoulders and bones.
