Autoreplacement Strategy

“Kick the Tragedy” by Najá Crockett

You staying for dinner?

Let’s just sing already

for the Lovely, Deadly

Autoreplacement Strategy

I would love to stay, but

Eager, Dangerous faces

make up my vista

I’m out of proverbs

and my eyes have dried up

Gouge them out

Just do it it’s not that big a deal

What are you scared of?

Will you even be here that long?

You’re already so different

So fast and so stubborn

What is satiation to a man like you

You’ve already drank all the wine

eaten all the food and I haven’t even

wet my lips

My mouth rips open

and I sing such a strange song

I can’t remember the lyrics

but I think your name was said

at least once
