| Too stoned, taking antibiotics
|
| I feel my infections
|
| Wrestle in my bones
|
| Mouth ajar, watching cuties hit the half pipe
|
| I only feel half-right
|
| Around healthier folk
|
| But oh, why don’t hold me?
|
| They just
|
| Cradle me like a homesick child
|
| And my wide eyes are a reflex
|
| That keep me
|
| Stained and young inside this mild home
|
| Oh
|
| Drizzle honey on my open salt wound
|
| Mom said, use a harpoon
|
| If I ever need a meal
|
| Mouth ajar, watching cuties hunt for supper
|
| I’ll just down an upper
|
| My almost-voice congealed
|
| But oh, why do they tease me?
|
| They just
|
| Dangle me over promised piles
|
| And my wide eyes are a reflex
|
| That keep them
|
| Stained and young inside this mild home
|
| Oh |
