i can feel you, you know, lodged in there. your weight is throwing me off balance, is there nowhere else you can be? my shadow is heavy with you. look how it's hunching its shoulders. maybe I could smoke you out as I walk through the park, cigarette in hand. leave you caught in the branches waiting in the dew for some other poor soul, some other poor fool i could lock you out, shove you back to where it's black and dead. cut off save the window i leave open in case you get cold at night what do you think? careful now, you always were vicious. your bite amatory careful now, not so deep if it runs too quick i can't get it all down my hands are shaking so i've smudged it here and there but look how the words shine red.
