why is it like this
why does the day kiss
the light from
satellites above

what sleepybug journeyed eye
can compromise what i
have known all along that
there is nothing but a heatseeking
heart beating deep inside of me

why can’t i hide this
why do the birds miss
the sigh from
my eyes above

what tatertot tasted kiss
do i miss the most like
the pale ghost who hangs
from my bedpost a sad memory
of how everything used to be

you turn your leaves
and greet the trees
on hands and knees
and wonder what kind of fool am i
and wonder what kind of fool am i

like riding a bicycle
full speed into snowflakes
obliterating across our faces
geometric teary diamonds dissolving
against the heat of our cheeks

you turn your leaves
and greet the trees
on hands and knees
and wonder what kind of fool am i
and wonder what kind of fool am i
and wonder what kind of fool am i
