Live Más

 - for melissa

i love your brain

i mean not like a zombie

just that i’m totally in awe

of the way your brain works


but man oh man

i know that 100 percent

if i were a zombie

i’d crack your skull open

sit you on the floor 

between my legs

and dig into your brains

like it was a goddamned 

Taco Bell burrito bowl

like i had a bony fistful of fire sauce

and the eternal appetite

of the undead


i’d have one single synapse left

burning in my own head 

and in its last few seconds


when i’d gotten all the way 

down to your hippocampus

when i was eating your memories of us


i just know that i would know 

i had just tasted

the tastiest bit of all.
