The garbage truck beeps as it backs up

And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away.

Could I push rewind?

The credits traverse, signifying the end

But I missed the best part.

Could we please go back to start?

Forgive my indecision

Then again, Then again, Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side



I am bottled, fizzy water, and you are shaking me up

You are a fingernail, running down the chalkboard

I…

Two people touching lips, hands on each other's hips, nothing else in the world but one another.

The 42nd floor, on a distant shore, I wonder how we strayed so far from this.

Remember when we were, just flesh and bone. You sir, may have forgotten how good your world could be.

So, put down your hollow tips, and kiss your lovers lips, and know that fate is what you make of it.



Please end this, please end this, before this ends us , ends us, ends us.…
