I. Things all seem to work out nicely
when you're stranded, but (not)
Really, you know that plastic gets distorted
in the fire.
II. A fear of even(?) numbers just comes from something
More odd, like when the screen knows what you don't (want)
To
fly is just to erase mistakes and curves and dreams that
Stain the sheets.
III. Making every error is perfection, at least when you're trying to
like how she uses too much symbolism (hanging on every word even when she hasn't a
p a r a c h u t e ?) And overformatting-with-a-computerized-smile.
IV. Lonely songbirds have their songs
So it's only fair that the ones with broken wings
give to the less fortunate. Daddy always said that they're playing
(A game?) when they fly in a circle like that
(is certainly not a songbird)
V. She loves the rhythm and he took it
away?
So now she can only clap her hands with the
tick
tock
tick of the (digital?) clock.
VI. We want to take off your (eyes) glasses
and make it all blurry Because when you can't see, the mud on your hands
(won't mean anything?) Will mean nothing.
VII. hit the lights, but don't break them
because you'll need to ward off the (monsters) fog
on those early morning journeys
Hospital
pharmacy
And then your father's old house? When you start to feel the pressure.
VIII. And (five?) more for good luck
Because you (never) know when you'll be needing it.
Does he lock the door behind him,
Does he break the lights?
A/N: :) The spacing used to be more fun, but the DM messed it up. Hope you liked it . . . One of the stranger things I've ever written, I think.
