You came to know me How you gave me face Gave me name Titled credibility And privilege when you spoke of me Amongst those held in esteem Wonder now If you might rob me **** me of things I have come To need To want To believe Snarl words at me Like rabid dogs And slash down fondness With awkward silence Of church and business Giving way to languages Of far off districts Inhabited by sailors and ****** Steal you their tongue I know you can Have heard you talk Like breaking bottles Sharp flecks of empty Thrown out of car windows Catching light Exploding fireworks on the sidewalk Screaming out into the heat Before I was old enough To understand such suggestions

The Word to Follow Young is Not Quite Love
You came to know me How you gave me face Gave me name Titled credibility And privilege when you spoke of me Amongst those held in esteem Wonder now If you might rob me **** me of things I have come To need To want To believe Snarl words at me Like rabid dogs And slash down fondness With awkward silence Of church and business Giving way to languages Of far off districts Inhabited by sailors and ****** Steal you their tongue I know you can Have heard you talk Like breaking bottles Sharp flecks of empty Thrown out of car windows Catching light Exploding fireworks on the sidewalk Screaming out into the heat Before I was old enough To understand such suggestions
