When you look out the window What do you see? Do you see where the clouds part, Where the sunbeam swallows whole? Or do you see the years before you? Does it still live in your mind? It doesn’t have to haunt you You’re gonna live with it either way So when you look towards the windshield, We’ll seize the day Throwing out your terms of endearment Asking me repeatedly, do you feel it? Sleep all day & sweat through the night You’ll drown in your sleep, it’s just in sight I’ll buy you a life jacket, strap it to your pillow Make sure you bring it everywhere you go When we scream-sing along in the car Or even when you have to go back to the job It takes all that I have to not think What if you hurt yourself? It’s those nights where you sleep in your work clothes Worry me Just think back to those nights on the airplane And those nights with your past I think maybe that’s why you get so much sleep Get up Marine You wanna f*ck this guy up over what he did to those girls? I’ll bring the bat & you bring your gun Make him cry like a bitch on the pavement He looks around as if someone will save him Lay his head on the curb with water dry Look at each other, “Aw look he’s crying” Close the gap between his head and your shoe Make him kiss it and then lose his tooth Pour out the booze and make it look like he did it to himself Then go back home & put the bottle on the shelf Act like nothing happened & the flowers grow again Look to your left & say “that cleared my head” Often giving in to instinctual obsessions But what’s so wrong with that? It doesn’t look like it’s helped entirely so far Finding your rhythm seems to be the issue Seeking your profession While you can’t stay intact But what’s that form on your radar Imminence, innocence, whatever best fits you But why are you mad? Why can’t I feel this way? Because it’s wrong As I lay under the velvet sheets analyzing the veins behind my eyes & how I can swear I see them move, I think of how I left my heater on in my room. I open my eyes to the soft, pulsing, red glow encompassing my room from the pilot light and realize; comfort within. Consumed by the heat and the glow of the pilot light through the lens of the velvet sheet, I feel my heart pumping louder, pumping the blood through the arteries, all around me, up and through me… Up and to my nose Where the breakage occurs And it flows out of me And back into me
