A Parting

Choking on Styrofoam
It’s a losing game I know
How your eyes
Crack up with laughter

Running lines, catching colds
There’s a limit that I have crossed
How you move yourself through smoke rings

In through the looking glass
Nothing is what it was
Surprise
Surprise

I’m too late and still not sure
Are you with me or are we at a war
All your tiny fits of rage

In through the razor’s blades
Cut through the frozen lake
And escape
Escape

Cut and run
Somewhere where no one will find you
Cut and run
Somewhere where no one will find you
But I will find you

And you’ll be screaming through the waves
Some unfinished business with the Feds
It keeps us hanging on the brink

We stumble at each other’s throats
No need to break off the dots
Turn on
Turn off.
