sleep monologue where zeus is you

if you shove a snugnose     in the mailbox
you’ll find galvanic skin     at the base of my spine
early morning goodbyes     vibrate at low speed
through punchproof glass     i let open questions
tazer me like a bio bracelet     yes you can wear
my heartbeat     i’ll rent a storage unit & fill it
with absolutely nothing     you said i could crash
at your place     as long as i’d mute my breath     why
do all windows lead to you     reason one: your name
a backspace     reason two: my left eye     the lazy one
detects you     like a crane swinging     out of control
reason three: i never see     you as the end
