Thom Meets Love


Thom Meets Love

too easily I am foolish in public...
especially when I am excited and eager,
I get silly and stand out as I stand on and stand up while I sing on and sing out way to embarrassing for
most people except for me...

who is shy, conservatively boisterous and exhibitionistic...

I really hate limits in life and in love
I want to rip my shirt off and yell
swerve my car and knock on doors
while I pull skweeky wagons
with drums and caged birds
I will sing too loud in church and
walk on park benches before climbing trees
calling your name and yelling
"I love you"

so this is me
::crash::
and I can't and won't stop or change
cause if I did I would be like dead flowers
worthless to all
I couldn't even change for you who I love with all of my noise and eagerness and cymballic intensity...

I will burn quickly
so I don't flicker slow fade gone out done
death is too imminent and the moon too full
so light your pink cigarette and
take a deep breath while we undress

Kiss
