365 more spins by Joey Salomone

around this sun that brightens just like you are laughing at another year with you and i so let’s fill a junk drawer together soy sauce and hot sauce packets with clever phrases and a screwdriver that just wasn’t big enough to make it to the tool box so let’s walk wine drunk around the small town of Herman and look into windows at antique women and old stuff boy, now you’re ready for a bubble bath but if i slip under the water and can’t breathe because of soap and shame i expect you to either revive me or pull the plug don’t make me spin the sun again on machines.
