Drew
growin up you we were best friends
didn't like the same things
but sometimes we'd pretend
took the truck in neutral around the bend
when you helped me move you showed me all your favorite comedians
and we laughed
I love you Drew
even if you think I'm a little bit weird
I love you Drew and I know that you love me too

red sky and yellow raindrop
blue pill I hit my head on
freshman philosophy
now everything's a threatening green
science is science fiction
watch the corners unglue
by something you thought was brew
our demise is not so mundane
we've got switch-brick brains
ohio built airplanes
science is science fiction
read your name in sidewalk chalk
the four horsemen own amazon stock
"but the wind still blows over savannah
and in the spring,
the turkey buzzard struts and flounces before its hens"

it's not the worst thing in the world not to get what you expected
you smell kinda different than I'd expect and I kinda like that
you can't complain your way to a happy life quit trying
modern computers work much better than in the 80s
"but the wind still blows over savannah
and in the spring,
the turkey buzzard struts and flounces before its hens"

warm december clouds
they told me I should smile more
if I want ten bucks an hours
I could sell my blood to the guy at the liquor store
if not for Clowes,
would I have made it out?
inhale platonic love
climb to the top of Cooper Stadium
find it in your blood
don't disintegrate, become phosphate calcium
make it out
of gum and cotton swabs and clouds

"well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
saying something about a queen
there were peasants singing and drummers drumming
and the archers split the tree
there was a fanfare blowing to the sun
and it floated on the breeze
look at mother nature on the run in the 1970s
look at mother nature on the run in the 1970s
I was lying in a burnt out basement
with the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for a replacement
when the sun burst through the skies
there was a band playing in my head
and it felt like getting high
thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie
thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie
well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceship flying
in the yellow haze of the sun
there were children crying and colors flying
all around the chosen ones
all in a dream, all in a dream
the loading had begun
flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home"
- Neil Young

I'm going to therapy again
cause my pops almost put me in the pen
I guess I was mad at him
I punched his car cause I knew it would make his world spin
it's alright I got it fixed
and hopped the fence next to the apartment complex
when I saw the wires I thought of you
I was in the woods so that is nothing new
remember when we saw the spider?
I held on too long cause it felt like fire
I supposes that's always how it goes
but I know you thought it was special cause you wrote it in my note
I love you

I wanna be who you thought I was
when you said I should never change
now I'm stuck just dreamin up
how to love without being insane
I heard you make the dolphin noise
from very far away
am I in love with you still?
is the world that cruel and strange?
it's not like
you and I have the best examples
but maybe we can figure it out
I lived my whole life
afraid of the truth and afraid I was lying
true, what could you do with that
but goooo the other way
I wanna be who I thought I was
spring of 2019
king of the reluctant omnivores
with my five foot one inch queen
it's not fair for you
to wear your big shirt when you know I'll see you
how could anyone compete with that?
you didn't wear those shoes for a year
because you stepped on a spider
I could never just be your friend

you saw a figure in the christmas lights
so did I
we said Dairy Queen at the
exact same time
you thought it beautiful
when I said why am I alive
if you're an eclipse
I want a crescent moon burnt in my eye
in the deep blue navy gas
sea while the gibbous slowly waxes
I followed your scent
with "the way the wind lifts her"
in my head
I guess I itch in every season
but I cry on accident these days
I don't try to tell you what is pleasing
I don't try to tell you anything at all
