Such passionate mistakes
I wanted you desperately to see
Remember me falling off my chair
Asking my head to crack the floor
Next time pour glue where I lay down
Make sure my ears are on the ground
So I can listen sixty years
For the prospect of anyone getting here
And then he came in
And then he stole the last thing that I had from my pocket
And then he came in
And then he stole the last thing that I had so now it’s gone
Endless fractures on the screen can
Separate beggars from their queen
While on the swings we threw out words
To watch them vanish in the branches
I believe they’re stuck up there
Conversations that act as ornaments
Conversations farewell
Give yourself over
I’ve heard she’s never been receptive
Please rooftops grab them
And tell them when it’s time to leave
This thought leads to that other thought
Until it’s time to sleep
That’s a word I used, pasted meaning on top
The problem appears to be solved
Until a voice rings clear and tears me apart
Saying, “everything you’ve ever done is a joke”
