Chime & Thunder

it’s the year you’re reincarnated in Kim Deal’s voice 
the makeup on your eyes is sunburst
our days a bratty buzz bin of melancholy
of crop top cannonball     of pixies in the air

the double denim sky hangs sticky at the fair.
It’s the year you’re reincarnated in Kim Deal’s voice
da ah da da da like colourpop, like strawberry sandpaper 
picked with Dunlop     of chime & thunder at the fair.             

We wait for the last splash but it never     whatever. 
We’re analogue kids passing through digital rain
glasstron at Metreon, vodka in Tupperware
cuckoo with the reggae bong      dancing in our underwear.

You were all nerve     all wave     marshal stack
now I wait in the car, scavenge decades like perfect disasters.
It’s the year you’re reincarnated in Kim Deal’s voice
& I’m still tinkering with the vocal effects
