Thinking that I feel some strings
but who’s the puppet master?
Is some person behind a curtain
manufacturing disaster?
Am I a simple minion?
Just a lifeless empty doll?
And if tear that tether
will I fly or will I fall?

Headphones muffled the sound, but I never queued music
Each playlist was you, so I just couldn’t choose it
But in silence I lose it
Inviting you in
Soon finding I’m writing about you again
The paper my pen
Would a pencil be better?
To erase
Change the case
To rewrite all my letters?
If arranged so they rhyme as they’re flowing along
Would you hit the add button
Or just skip the song?

Stepped right on a tack
Couldn’t pierce like her gaze
Still a terrible pain
I should call her
Think I twisted my back
Know I’ll feel it for days
I say something profane
I should call her
Burned my hand on a pan
Just another old scar
Wait, speaking of hot
I should call her
Wrapped a tree with a van
Apple didn’t fall far
Doing things I ought not?
I should call her

I’d slay the fiercest dragon
I’d grow roses on the moon
I would eat a pound of magma
With a glowing red hot spoon
I would make the birds real creatures
Then teach all the dogs to fly
Get my masters in philosophy
While never asking “why?”
I would dive the Mariana Trench
With just a single breath
I’d prop Sisyphus’s boulder
Then make nice ‘twixt he and death
I’d count backwards from infinity
While walking back from Hell
Then I’d do it all a second time
For the lovely Miss Purnell

A single word is all it takes
A sight, a sound, a smell
The right/ wrong one
Composure breaks
I’d say it’s going well
Seems I’ve forgone forgetfulness
So different from before
No way to misremember this
Since, after all, I swore
