Severance Pay

Outbound take operator affixes googly-eye to witchy film,
and, in so doing, codifies the practice. A certain urgency
inherent in the very idea of attack shorts. You have to see it,

no-boundary clause catches you in. This sharpened meat.
This altitude. A groaning, twisting child-brains and
reworking them into canvas or something snap-like.
Sharp again. Dusted hummer. Osiris leaning windward.
You're left with a handful of tokens, enameled awards,
something to fit inside your buttonhole.

This bounded

Dappled fat,
ache-corners,
you said

into the phone,
as counting

over
