We cannot grasp infinity in our minds

Yet we hold in our heads that we are
infinite

We forget we are *not
we are all wandering these streets
families we meet,
so happy to greet

they feel so perfect
so unhurt by it,
they tell us everything
we don't hardly care
giving them those half hearted stares
we're just struggling to breath this air

so hurt,
so unprepared, what do we do now,
join back in the crowd?

i ask myself 'how'
our masks are wearing down.
Where's that perfect family now?
what a scene we're making now-
all our joy is bleeding from our mouths,
we'll make it, somehow
pull my lighter out
and smoke me
i'll unfreeze
and put you at ease
watch my water melt
that's what i thought i smelt
now hit me
hit me

get that high
you get me?
i'm saying what i mean
it gets harder every time
but this is how we get along

i'm frozen
now hit me.
stranded on telephone lines
holding on deeply to conversions.
but i'm falling down,

suspended in air
i'm clinging to words
light and untouched
as they surge from
home
to
home
we're standing together,
but all i want is to be apart.
Rubber duck, rubber ducky
You stay with me,
Even when the water's yucky.

Rubber duck, rubber ducky
your yellow skin bumps, and rubs me.

Mr. Duck, Mr. Hug me
You speak, more than a squeak, saying
"The waters calming, not alarming"

Rubber duck, rubber ducky
Stay with me. Even when the water turns ******.
Dread the day
You might ever say
Words are not what I need today.
Speak kindly
Not blindly.
You'll find the words to say.
