how we make friends

have you no friends? we'll patch that right up.
open the trunk, make sure you didn't leave

any in there. nothing but secondhand
lamps and fuzzy amps, we're good here.

have you found yr friend? thought we was
just pulling the beard on the grandfather clock

waiting for him to come down. make sure
they know we're coming. we wouldn't want

to let the elevators down. each gilded button
busts a gut when pressured. falling on your ass

does not have to be ugly. we are courting
so many yet-to-be friends with our ass-falling.

how many friends? i can only count em up so fast,
but the wall, he counts, we went over this

last weekend when our locks took stock of their options
and decided it was best to just let anyone in.
