skipping the show
01:50
|

i walked past ur house thinking bout how you’re doing in los angeles
i think about how growth comes in many ways
you wouldn’t know me today
i don’t cut my hair anymore, i’m no longer a bore, i skate with my friends and you’re not allowed inside my apartment
i think about how growth comes in many different ways
the second i step into the crosswalk, a man yells back at me “hey baby, what are you doing tonight?”
and that’s ridiculous
i think about how growth comes in many different ways
the moment i step onto the subway
i’m no longer in manhattan, not talking to accountants, not outside of the silent barn, not driving past farms
i already told you i’m skipping the show

forgiveness
02:27

i think about tmrw when i have too much time on my hands
i am busiest when i remember this plan
at least i know where u and i stand
(at the bottom of the long island sound)
in the free time, i wish for more
in crowded stretches, i want space
in the last six months, i totally forgot your face
days i paint, nights i watch,
though i often close the windows.
i’m over what happened,
though there are some things that just can’t be forgiven.
in the free time, i wish for more
in crowded stretches, i want space
in the last six months, i totally forgot your face
dorothy from golden girls is my sea change
and i don’t have to explain
days i paint, nights i watch,
though i often close the windows.
i’m over what happened,
though there are some things that just can’t be forgiven.

mean poem
03:16
|

u could be the worst roman emperor of all time
i watched u shoot basketballs and said it was “fine”
i didn’t mean for this to be a mean poem but you bring out the worst in me
chandelier in the living room is used ... for when and where and what purpose? i don’t think i deserve this (i have not seen you turn it on one time) unlike you, i’m honest
—
losing a sense of urgency — not about anything urgent
any consideration i give to you is a gift — i don’t ask for it to be reciprocated (and it isn’t)
i remembered the feeling of a skee ball leaving my hand
i’d like to say i haven’t thought about it
and left you in the bookstore checkout line
but unlike you i’m honest
i didn’t mean for this to be a mean poem but you bring out the worst in me
for one, i begin what i say with an optimism and a truthfulness that u can’t comprehend, rendering me clueless when u eventually ...
i didn’t mean for this to be a mean poem but you bring out the worst in me

U sing songs about me
i’m caught in between
moments of agony
interludes of victory
or did i misunderstand again
back to square one or one thousand
interludes of victory
missed connections on the bus, i try not to think about it too much
missed connections on the train really fucks with my brain
& PROGRESS IS A FEW STEPS IN ANY DIRECTION!

man of myst
00:49
|

man of mystery means nothing to me
you are a boat, i am the sea
wintertime in rockaway beach
on one twenty second street
talking to you is flip flops on the subway
talking to me is snowboots on the beach
whatever the meaning is is lost on me

growth (union city)
01:11

growth is navigating port authority alone
growth is everything, and also i am still thinking
you are something of an ant on the bus to union city

if this is my diary, then you are in my diary
& i'd like to know how it feels

left are 18 wheelers and on your right are pickup trucks and a dog is sticking its head out the window.
