Aug 5

I’m a steam ship
I’m breaking into you
I’m a steam ship
with leaking valves
exhausted deckhands
I’m breaking into you.

I’m not the only one
but I’ll be gone first
like the wind that you
say doesn’t bother
your hair
that doesn’t mess up
your day.

I shouldn’t have drove
but look
how you look

I’m not leaving alone
and I’m not tearing
my tie for a graceful smile
or an apology letter.

take a drag from this
cigarette and stop
