hula hoop

he'll see your break
and raise you an indefinite hiatus
he's choking on your choked up
he has no patience anymore
not this hour

neophyte desperation?
because he did that thing
not used to such tight loops
but he's not in the noose, not yet
he wants to be healthy, but
vice tempts him

nevermind the issues
the world is just fine
jokes about knives and forks sticking out of his leg
he's been deputized to be in a loop
that feeds north carolina
that slimmed down the settlers
that exiled the cherokees
that slow squeeze
