all the people talkin all the time
in your mind
tellin jokes writing lines
that you repeat to remind you
of certain truths
and your certainty to do um
it’s not perfect but it works
you’re tellin yourself
and you know where to go
and you go where you know
and anyone that crosses us well
we’ll cross away
but where did they go and
what did they want to say
i can see the strings and wires
holding you up
as you rise high above
our shitty shiftin set
but clouds are sounding rough
with angels flexing to look tough
saying who pulls your wires
high as we pull ours
softly spoken in your ear
your name and you’re mine
and your mind and your ear
remember it for years
and do all you can to steady
your tremblin hand
cause we’ll make new truths
as i comfort and consume
moving faster
in circular patterns
as our breasts touch
i’ll kiss your face
i’ll hold your gaze
seemingly saying endlessly
i’ll make your mind mine
