you and me are just like hounds we want someone to push us around
to keep us busy
and keep us fed
and we are bookmarks
we are skipping stones
we are four brown eyes and four hundred twelve bones
we are nothing
without our heads
we just want to be touched
but a hand or a handle,
that's just a crutch
and we
will live our lives
wedded to the weight like stone wives
so keep our meat rare
it's the blood that is real
if you can't eat the truth
then you can't really feel
I know nothing
if it has not been said
and I have felt this
with the skin of my heart
it's a moment together
a million apart
now I'm tired
I'm going to bed
