this is how we would say goodbye

an acrostic fashioned
from soba noodles
spelling out
s-e-e y-a
with the first word being
serendipity
which was also a film
starring John Cusack.
Or-
a capoiera sequence
in Groucho Marx 'taches
we come in, we move out
we throw in some crotch grabs
like it was Hammer Time
so people don't think
it's a ballet.
Or-
a Hoxton exhibition
ten thousand milk cartons
filled with sputum
sputum = love
trendies with stupid bowlcuts
would come to watch
and cry.
Or-
a backwards speed date
we un-introduce ourselves
we say 'hello, it's over'
flip up our monitors
and adjust the profiles
to fit.
