SRB |
Head first into the headboard |
I’m shatterproof |
But cranial impact |
Taps something true |
If I could grab your attention |
With my styrofoam rattlebox |
You’d smile away my transgression |
And tap something lost |
A spitball to the ribcage |
My useless heart hit |
We’re slap-happy the livelong day |
Neck and neck |
If I could grab the man on a street |
With my raspy rattaplan |
My only personal property |
A raspy, whispered plan |
A bottle-green sky |
Stinging yellow hair |
In a tizzy of deviation |
Giddy in the glare |
If I could grab this whirligig |
And keep it in my arms |
We’d persevere through what is here |
And mourn what is gone |
A smoker’s gasp |
And a child’s howl |
Cut through the air |
Drown out all other sound |
