I thought I'd write So I brought a pen But it seems that everybody's words come down again Like water on the street Around my feet Laugh to see them swirl Echoed by the laughing of a girl Who thinks like me But says everything she thinks And I always walk so cautiously For fear of fucking things up again The picture I drew in the wet concrete A secret and careful reminder of me And I wrote it in Hebrew so no one can read And I wrote it backward in Sanskrit and numbers And 'I' in this poem is somebody other than me What you said Stuttering and slow I couldn't catch the meaning in between And I don't know If I really want to But you should go And I will shut the shade On the picture of the Devil that I made Cause it'd be awkward in the morning if you stayed And someone was talking, so I played dead Rather than try to converse about baseball No insult intended, but that's enough said I'm drinking to drive your voice out of my head And it's weeks now since I have been openly cruel And it's been so long since I smiled out of habit And I'd better leave before it gets too comfortable here If you want my opinion Well, I said it's fine I guess you could have spent more time on the words It doesn't really rhyme But that's just me And I'm kinda slow I only had one class in poetry And I was drawing the whole time So I don't know And I always walk so cautiously For fear of fucking things up again The picture I drew in the wet concrete A secret and careful reminder of me And I wrote it in Hebrew so no one can read And I wrote it backward in Sanskrit and numbers And 'I' in this poem is somebody other than me And someone was talking, so I played dead Rather than try to converse about baseball No insult intended, Sir, that's enough said I'm drinking to drive your voice out of my head And it's weeks now since I have been openly cruel And it's been so long since I smiled out of habit And I'd better leave before it gets too comfortable here
