A poem by Crispin Best

anyway

i am riding lifts on my 30th birthday 

somewhere you are all of my direct messages and
a little drunk with you on a train would be nice
anyway they washed the floor of the museum
so my footprint is everywhere on my 30th birthday
and my shoe bottoms must be very beautiful 

somewhere i am a kite when you slam me into the sand

still
anyway i am sweating in the museum lonely
somewhere i am sweating not touching butterflies in the
enclosure too
place your animal parts close by
on my 30th birthday
feel free

anyway this unshrinkable distance between us
still
anyway your knees in the morning

somewhere i am sweating quietly learning how to pick up a butterfly
on my 30th birthday
after i nearly step on a butterfly in the enclosure too
there are chrysalises with us here
touch my chest in my imagination

anyway take off your belt with me
on my 30th birthday

still
somewhere i am sweating watching the pattern of your bra
complicate the front of your blouse

never stop
