Wreck & Reference Powders
I was gagging on the fat, sick dripping down my face, when you told me to relax, when you said "just take a break." When you rolled me on my side, and I began to shake. When you asked me for a reason, and I said I could relate. And I don't know what you think when you look at me, and I don't know what to say as we lay in bed. I don't know what you think as you fall asleep, but when I fall asleep all I can do is count my breaths
And you said "what about the times outside?"
And I said "what about the hours inside crumbling to dust?"
And you said "what about the powders?"
And I said "what about the fluids?"
And you said "what about the cowards?"
And I said "what about me, what are you trying to say?"
And I said "what about me, what are you trying to say?"
And you said "what do you think we're doing here?"
And I said "what about the night?"
And you said "what about the colors?"
And I said "what about the flowers?"
And you said "what about your brothers?"
And I said "what about the sin of my father that I ate, and it made me sick for days and days and days and days and days?"
And you said "what about the morning?"
And I said "what about the pain?"
And you said "what about the art?"
And I said "what about the shame?"
And you said "what about the artist?"
And I said "what about the rain?"
And you said "what about the colors as they all run down your face?"
And I said "what do you think I'm doing here?"
And you don't know do you
And you said "what do you think we're doing here?"
And I just laughed
And I said "what about the times we spent rotting indoors, fusing and imploding casting shade upon our lives?"
And you said "what about the time when you looked me in the eye?"
And you said "what about the time that you said you and I would die, hand in hand?"
And now it's time and now it's time and now it's time and now it's time
And you just laughed and said "it's time for me to go,"
And I just laughed and said "okay, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine"
