OLD/YOUNG
I WALK WITH YOU OUTSIDE
OF YOUR LAST DAY
OF HAVING WHAT YOU DON'T WANT
IT SMELLS LIKE SMOKE
TO BREATHE YOUR SKIN
THERE IS A DANCE TONIGHT
KEEP THAT IN MIND
WHEN YOU START TO LAY LIKE WOOD
WE DROP OUR HANDS

THIS WALK CANNOT BE UNDONE

IT IS A MORNING LIKE ANY, ALTHOUGH
A BIT DIFFERENT
IN THAT IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED
BEFORE
AND IT NEVER WILL
AGAIN

TO YOUR WHOLE DAY AWAKE
FROM WHEN YOU CRACK SLEEP & SIT UP IN BED
TO WHEN YOU LAST SIGH AND BREATH OUT
YOUR FINAL  SOUND OF THE DAY

THINK ABOUT THIS:
WE CANNOT KNOW HOW IT IS
THAT WE GET TO HAVE TODAY
AS WE ARE
THOUGH WE TRY
i have a few
empty terrariums
left
come fill them up with me
yes?
