plenty of stars here, pulling up in cameraman scrawls
and taxicab refunds, cornered with feather light breath,
why don'tcha have them drown in seawater, stunt doubles for
the ones in the skies, drenched in death and martyred.
as for the ocean loved creatures, take 'em out for milkshakes;
pay with nicotine pennies and neon patterned concubines.

listen: we all shine in ultraviolet, but week-old bruises aren't love bites,
no matter how much gold you plaster over them.
