Herpes Incorporated

an overheard conversation at Dos Segundos

We're herpes incorporated
the name wrote itself
like a sluggy tumor made of summer
all five hundred days of it
in the meatiness of the preseason

we cut each other off like door locks
"does anyone know where mercury is right now?"
vintage stores, boutiques, come back world!
                        we miss you...
you're the only magic act we're putting through
