Hat of greens shows symmetry

In front of hat, alone, sits me

Fourth day

I don't want it anyway to be reliving

It won't be that bad again because

This can't amount in comparison

I should intimidate you as you should intimidate yourself

Thirty minutes of make-up

For all to see but you

Are not what I want you to be

Universal there

At three AM on the first of a year

When it started, I'm not sure

In a jumper, with a bracelet

In a jumper, with a bracelet

On your right wrist

That turns with a golden knob

Opening amidst a dense yellow light, fade

To reveal an infinite sky

And juxtaposed to the accelerating swell of the musical score

Pushes it's audience to realize just what is ahead

The characters' fear and the physical manifestation of their hopes and dreams

Coming closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and kiss me

My dad says things that make me laugh

He meows Tom Petty songs and that is why I stay

Unlike running water, can't run away

There are more here than merely bodies

Things without fear of surrounding

Me, branches to catch me falling

Perhaps someone who understands

That when I say I'm sad I mean it

That there is no excuse, I need this

What I said about hat of greens

Has led me to see that my superimposition of a face

Upon a poster on it's way

Arriving any day, that will accompany me every night

In a welcoming of rest

Tacked onto the drywall

Surrounding me

Will probably

Return me to this fading

The sky being a bedroom

Kiss me but I don't want to
