you were a soldier
every night
walking in shadows
out of sight
inside the movie
your hand was
on my sleeve
as we watched a man who
was dying from
a memory
losing my balance
falling like
a misflown kite
it doesn’t matter
if you’re high
you still take a dive
into a pool of
water all
the ripples tweak
you don’t come out for
seven weeks
feel like a freak
everybody’s driving off in different ways
i’m about to be erased
all this war is going on in the street
history is on repeat
you were the black sheep
with your friends
but that depends
on how many nights you’ve
spent alone
no telephone
the words here to calm your
mental scene
and its bad dreams
you’re writing a letter
that you will burn
trying to turn
everybody’s driving off in different ways
i’m about to lose my face
all this war is going on in the street
everyone will be released
