Your Bruise

It's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes

but you're so far sighted that you can't place trust

in what or who you recognize



we sped the plymouth

across the banks of the mississippi river

mary timony was smaller than a super ball...

chitter-chatter all these secrets

started giving me the shivers

plain and simply broken down near olympia



I think your bruise was understated

'cause you can't feel this anymore

it's getting bluer and you can't keep faking

that you can't feel this anymore
