Forts

Up all night building forts for fighting fitful thoughts for us.
She sits in the kitchen Twitch-twitch.
Twitching in the kitchen Twitch-twitch.
O shake, shaky-Karen Shaky-Karen.

Ping-pong Ollie,
Ping-pong Ollie,

All night long and off the walls, he's

Ping-pong Ollie.
Ping-pong Ollie

Turning circles up, down, the halls.

“Take, take me out.”
Closing doors,
Listening to
Closed doors talk.
“Isn't it all
Kissing and
Kissing or
Pressing or
Not at all?”
“Take me, take me to.”
Speaking or
Asking for
Not having to
speak at all.
“I'm left...” I say.
Something half
Unsaid for
Pretending to.

“Knock, knock.”
“Who's there?”
“Adjust.”
“Adjust who?”
“Adjusta yaw amadjuhnation!”

“Take me, take me out.”
Settle on Silent.
Asking for
Not having to
Speak at all.
Kissing and
Kissing or
Pressing or
Not at all.
“Take me, take me to”

Up she sits all night building twitching for fighting fitful twitching thoughts twitching for us.
She sits in the kitchen Twitch-twitch
Twitching in the kitchen Twitch-twitch
O shake shaky-Karen Shaky-Karen.

Days begin with setting suns
“Take me, take me, take me to...”
Days end with rising suns
“Take me, take me, take me to...”
