‘The Dry Erase Marker on My Pants Tells a Story’
I become raw around this time of year My Clarks are starting to talk I wake up an hour before my alarm I see hands moving in the light reflecting through the windows I see my breath in the shower You can put a cutting in water and it will grow roots But the roots don’t work when you plant them I once saw my lover across the street She looks like any stranger from far enough away Trace the crumbs on the infinite saucer The tiles like honey comb I just want you to know how to calculate your lifestyle You enter the building 20 minutes behind Stop thinking faster than you listen I got a miraculous welcome I am the iron in the fireplace burnt and rusty I am the marble eroded by 5,000 footsteps Put a comma in the sky It means you own something
