parallel lines
junior boys
would you really say them?
or stutter through the verse
with mumbled punctuation?
that you savored by yourself
is it easy enough to fake it?
or do you need a moment to re-memorize
and model it like a curse half-disguised?
that final taste before you're taken away
just as long as you don't really think so
to get on with concentration
what i'm missing in education
borrowing all the hours that you gave to me
it's a wonder i could ever breathe
you'll hear the floating whisper
of all the things you were that have been paralleled
all the voices that were raised and finally fell
that final taste before you're taken away
just as long as you don't really think so
no written tests for what you know
that final taste before you're taken away
just as long as you don't really think so
