Everyone hates this hyperbole "Get A Job" Such an intrusion You pull down a ski mask Moving across the floor Your movements become words "You wouldn't if I didn't" Pile of sticks on the staircase Close enough for me to see Such a disclosure you defend I weep for you and myself Becoming an object fixed in place Empty, hopeless, confused My absence is my entrance Wet dreams and apartments locked The keys hang up on the Christmas tree You taste the water knowing I'll always be me

It's A Rainy Day In Nova Scotia
Everyone hates this hyperbole "Get A Job" Such an intrusion You pull down a ski mask Moving across the floor Your movements become words "You wouldn't if I didn't" Pile of sticks on the staircase Close enough for me to see Such a disclosure you defend I weep for you and myself Becoming an object fixed in place Empty, hopeless, confused My absence is my entrance Wet dreams and apartments locked The keys hang up on the Christmas tree You taste the water knowing I'll always be me
