1201

with your face against
the mirror
you say
I’ve never been so inspired
I’m back on my own two feet

don’t worry about me
your face against the produce
you say
I’ve thrown away all my demons
ground down and buried
don’t worry about me

you say
I’m a shining sun
while playing with your hair
won’t you take my hand
out to sea

through all
i could barely see
a man in drag
saying what else do you need

are you still listening to me?

cassette tapes and blood
clinging to your teeth
saying if only it were true

and tonight
I saw yesterday
and tomorrow
doing the two step
and saying
are you still listening to me?
