you wanted to take the christchurch gondola
the what
the christchurch gondola. to the top
we popped the lsd on the bike.
i think it’s illegal. in new zealand, lsd.
we rode little plastic pods
like pod seeds
up the mountain.
at the christchurch gondola
i was hanging on back then
mainly to you.
i would bite the leather
collar around your neck
i am an eskimo, this time.
chewing leather.
to soften you, i failed at that, too.
but the taste of your jacket
has been imprinted in
my wet mouth
all these years.
