HOW TO GET NICK FLYNN TO LOVE YOU



Find out where he is reading: 
park in the back alley
Wait

When he comes out 
tap & steal 
put him in the boot 

Say boot, to keep the cops off your tail 
burn rubber, burn 
Drive to a beach shack 

abandoned like a rusty pail and shovel 
No, go to New England  
surround yourself with ghosts 

Read him your smoky poems 
let him fall into your liquid   
he will forget 

his past life 
you will both get past life 
Bathe away the stains of your DNA 

You are a new life form   
birthing galaxies
