Description
put on pride
for the world of reasons
buying their rights to
your means;
and i keep watching
while you sleep

drown a useful drip in memories of
when we were smiling children
of when we knew the answer--
it was right there under the bed
trade a bigger piece of paper for
a smaller place of comfort and
still somehow feelings merely meant
more wasted breadth

you eat, you speak
you eat, you speak
you eat, you speak
but you never wake up
