screaming softly
should be done
indoors because
you'll leave blisters
on peoples little
ears.

The world can hear you
but you don't care.
The t.v can see you but
you ignore the glare so
you can wake up staring
through the same window.
Wrapped inside skinny fingers
and white balloons, it whispers
your name.

For some reason you never
accept the invite.
Don't you want to float away?

if
     we
        knew
           how
              to
              make
        feelings
   escape
          then
              all
                  of
                    our
                bodies
            piled
          up
      together
             would
                   make
                       us
                equivalent
                    to
              the
      weight
            of
                a
                  slab
                of
            red
      meat.

Notes leak out of the speakers
into your ears at night while you
lay, as they begin circulating
'round and 'round your head
creating an airway to your sleep.

God doesn't carry a guitar
but he sure can whistle
and it sounds like heaven,
it sounds like rain.
His down pour will make you
buckle with every oxygen-coated
ounce of himself.

We'll forget how to breathe soon
because no one will leave us
good instructions.
We''ll forget how to survive soon
because no one will leave us
ounces of laughter.
