I can be powered by dominoes and blue cheese
Côtes du Rhône and Chablis
and that shit you saved for cooking

I can be powered by honesty boxes and soft clouds
jump scares and secret fastjets
with code names like X32a and Slow Doris

I can be powered by nitrogen bubbles
when I’ve stayed too long
—rocket sleds and loose fillings
bare legs, corsets, coronations
that electrical snap when you touch my arm

I can be powered by nostalgia and DRM
Morrisey and Michael Jackson
at least until 1989

I can be powered by wet dreams and toothless birds
gravy that
drips
down
sundays

I can be powered by history porn and the gilded cage
those untested bombs with yields of 50 megatons
now I am become death

I can be powered by anything
brought down by it all
