lyrics

I knew
with an announcement
drawing near

left at the footsteps
of salt-tracks
toward your bed

brought closer
by the heat-index
and parents everywhere
who left us,
or you

I've tried this
I knew what it was like
four or five seconds in

spun like a catacomb,
wrapped like an aunt's Christmas tree remnants
aim for the bottom

yesterday afternoon
somebody in a serious tone
turned seriously to ask me
if I'd "be born"

"be", not "been"
as if I hadn't already--
maybe wanted to,
but needed help

the
creatures around here
leave themselves
almost daily

and from another town over
your landlord holds up a sign
with marker, that says':

"you'll get used to pay'n"

would you still wake
a sleeping child
to give them medication?

insomuch-as everything is
only ever
a collection
of other things

where are you headed?

act curious
for questions you know the answers to

act curious
for questions you know the answers to

the most important way
you can make someone feel is

act curious
for questions you know the answers to
