garrulous gathers

burn,
man,
like it's nineteen

sixty nine
and you're
nineteen

drafting off
the unnipped bud
skipping practice

to dwell on the grass
underneath freer love
than the definition can shove

into a vowless vow
onto your open brow
firing sixteens into 

birthday cakes 
snakes into 
power mistakes

just one more highway
and the association
will be free

association
