I never want to see certain people again
Like the bitch at Becker’s when I was a kid
She’d watch a hole right through me, as I arrived at the counter
with carefully selected penny candies
and a signed note to buy cigarettes for my mother

When I was young, I thought fate hung so carefully in the balance
Throwing trash into a can with major reservations for
good aim and consequences for missing

Well, regardless, I’m forced to stay the same to you, dissolved
Salt in the tears
You had the most amazing penmanship
All the libraries have heard of you
Rain barrels plot rhythm about you
And still no one has seen you

We wait out the rain, crammed into tram stalls
Stand beside the lightning from balcony walls
Placid parks lay down and then accept it
Unearthed are the ways we could have kept it

I’m sticking with fire because it means what it does
It says what it means
It hurts to be judged
It tumbles up and floats down stairs
It washes the memory of what was there

My money wings only spread so far
If I knew where you grew I’d put a lawn ornament
out on your front yard saying I miss you, Pink Flamingo
I’d pinch out candles with wet fingertips
and wish for some more bravery

But regardless, I’m forced to stay the same to you, dissolved
Salt in the tears
You had the most amazing penmanship
