recovery hindsight
anyone can trace their steps
if they just try hard enough
i will peruse your memory
for an ancient untruth
and stagger you out
in front of everyone
i'll drag you down
but somehow
the further you go
the further i follow.

i grabbed a sickle and tore it all down
a cartoon wall with a gaping hole
no longer sickly and waiting for calls
no longer shockwaved and ready to fall
i can look back now and laugh at these faults
i am misshapen but aren’t we all?

everytime i’d bury bones you’d pass by
and dig them up with a little smile
you juiced your own armada
with an empty heart
i chose to make a last stand
you had options and thought the better of it
i watched your armada sail off for the south
a gold coin token was all you left behind
for me to see your face in from time to time
last i heard you were lost somewhere overseas
i’d try to find you but i don’t know where you’d be

your new location

where will you be
upstairs shining trinkets
or outside following footsteps
trailing off midsentence in a smalltown general store
or drinking yourself sick again
on the stained-glass streets of new york
you’re leaving for some new place
but i hear you’re coming back someday
you travel, i’ll wait.

a sycophant dinner dance -
hide your glasses well
open sore showcase
a cheerful young break-up card delivery boy
a dismantled wisecrack becomes a purring kitten - shuffle off, boy
isn't your rental tuxedo due back at the mall soon?
shuffle off, boy...
(jacob stallion wets his whistle)

wait until you look impeccable
then shine your searing smile
finally at me
full-knowing that you are blessed
and I am cursed for ever touching you.
reach for some quick new replacement
he will gladly step in and bring you
electrolytic flowers
full-knowing that you are blessed
and he is cursed for ever touching you.
