Good morning I say to the morning
to the mailman who comes, good morning
I just remembered forgot to get the mail
which is a usual thing for me to do anyway
so I'm gonna get the mail
yeah, I'm gonna get the mail

I sit on the front porch with no coat
and wonder how I got so cold
think about you
and pillows
that serve no purpose
and where they should go

That Top Note

I imagined your face was covered with white leather
stitched together by red lace
small enough for me to hit into the outfield
and when I crossed home plate
you congratulated me
it was so sweet
but now I grind my teeth
a bitter fifth grader
is a bitter adult
I don't know why I'm like this
but it's not your fault

my body's not a trash can
why do I fill it with trash?
unlike my car full of water bottles
my mind will soon collapse
and it did
on monday
but then I called my mom
and wrote something on the stearing wheel
next day it helped a lot
I wet my thumb with saliva
and I wiped it off
Is a body a trash can
if you fill it with trash?
asking for a friend now
over share and relapse
like I did
on Thursday
but I'm not a piece of trash
I'm not a piece of trash

I don't deserve a milkshake
but I'll get it anyway
celebrate today
celebrate today
Cause I make 12.50 an hour
isn't that just great?
but my big toe still skims cold water when swimming would feel great
but I am too afraid
*yelling some stuff*

is it you I'm thinking of?
or some projection?
a mirror casting light in its reflection
we had such good times
is my memory deceptive?
no
not today
I feel that I miss you anyway
I do

What Bubbles Underneath

when I walk into my house
I'm feeling thickly drunk
when I ain't had a drop
I'm feeling so alone
wondering who I am
I fell to the floor
in oddly specific empathy
for the lions in the Chicago zoo
for what bubbles underneath
I grew my hair out long
I left someone I love
behind

faced with the abyss
I think I'm alright
my jeans are pissed
I guess that's alright
