To girls that love cars

For cars are fast and furious

You can try to overtake them 

You can take a guess who’s inside 

You can knock on their windscreen and sceam

When the police issues a warrant for your arrest 

You can dive uphill and down 

Make out with homeless cowboys on the street 

Until you find refuge

At an old friends appartment 

On the sixteenth floor
Behind heavy curtains
And velvety air

His eyes shimmer so beautifully this night
And between your thighs
Swelling sea anemones
And you have one, two, four of them.

You dive uphill and down
Inside and out.
The thunder of patrol cars
On his wall
You swap organs
As if they were interchangeable.

He is man and beast and woman in one 

„Thats chem sex“ he whipsers 

And you are plant and ocean and valley and sea

Until you come to senses 

“It was lovely that night” 

And he says 

„I‘m not fucking freaks. “
