In the city I wander
worms get smashed under
all those people are busy with things
And here I go crazy
and there I get lazy
like a calf that is growing six legs
My body's slowly
figuring out how
it fits in the moments of missing
Steady in my thoughts
I soften the tight knots
My stomach's alright, though it's twisting
On a beautiful surf
I found a seaweed person
in hot light reflected green on the sand
I was a little uncertain
that some things might hurt me
in the night I hid my eyes with my hand
Then off of the breeze
I heard a sudden burst and
in fright imagined thumps on the land
There is a house on the trees
where all the shadows work and
they don't make their plans your plans
And maybe I'm naive
to say you should just breathe
and float out of pain when it's hissing
'Cause here I sit crying
and she's not here, I am
I can't handle a moment she's missing
Then I eat with my people
and I laugh at the steeples
'cause Hell is my own bad thinking
I know that the rain moves
and enters the dream pools
and diamonds are days with fire
And you help the sneeze
for as long as you could
just to cast it to the sneezing void
I think I have a disease
that makes my hearing imperfect
but at least I make some wonderful noise
And back in the trees
I saw a shadow's birth, but
no one said it's a girl or a boy
You can take all you want
from another person
In the end you find you lose your voice
In the city I wander
worms get smashed under
the streets where all those people are busy
Here I go crazy
but there I feel lazy
like a calf that is growing six legs
My body's slowly
figuring out how
it fits into moments of missing
