can you remember
jumping up at the drop of a feather
two thirty, some cold day in November?
can you remember
weighing down both the lines
getting bored and starting fires?
to stay afloat in the anchorous sea
an increasing number of receptors released
how they raced like stock cars through your bloodstream
soul's been left by the side of the road
too many holes for it to go unnoticed
the ink's half dry, can't see all the words
hiding your face, the marks from the burns
every word uttered just that much more absurd
can you remember
staring me square in the face
telling me how much of a waste?
a selfish out for a suburbanized kid
my cake rotted quick
saved the icing for kicks
the last couple years
the thin got thick
still can't decide to persist or quit
