you can lay me like you mean it
and hey,
you might as well lay me
in the ground while you're at it

since i'm not good enough
to 'be with' -

to all the men i've loved

what if this ship sinks on time
like the script is supposing
i'm not sure if i'll bail or concede

to death,

or the bitter prospect of survival
in braving this angry sea

you don't quote me

because i am more brilliant
a shining star so to speak
a star that blazes
and dies out
periodically

and naturally so
consciously unconscious

of my own genius
not of my own beauty

i fade out like the winded tunnel

well,

i should have asked you
how you felt about being analyzed
or situated but i thought
it might be intrusive
or thoughtless
i took care to you
and wanted to amend
anything seriously
invalid
but i had a resonating feeling
that you might not reciprocate
my own feelings,
i'm sorry you were upset when we left
if i didn't call you
it means i'm in love with you
and i want to be with you for us
as long as i can
imagine

but i can't hold on forever
i'm only human after all

its unfortunate after all
i mean ultimately -

generation nostalgia

"gay, is the symbol of a heart"

i was born

in the bitterest of months
those times you think it could never get colder
but it does
and the ice might last forever
you know my parents almost died getting me to the hospital
unborn it was the damnedest blizzard the world had never seen
february fourth nineteen eighty six

when canadians lost faith

you know i really do miss you
but i'm clueless at reparations

i only renovate
