i do like to see things through
to earn my intuition
trained in a competition
to revel in the brand new

beyond some greater trouble
in the episodic way
ideally just once a day
or nonstop til we’re rubble

often the care of others
pausing our relentless fun
seeing each other through it
realizing the night is done
learning more from our mothers
we will have to pay for it
