lyrics

if one night you took your glasses off
took your language out
left for good

if instead of returning from the bathroom
if instead of returning
if the unwound sheet of the roll
of toilet paper flapping
audibly in the silence
reminiscent of flags
in university courtyards
if the sound of toilet paper
responding to the wind
was reason enough
to hydrate, to hate the alarm
if your brother is sleeping in
your bed right now
two days after the fight
if there’s no more bob’s burgers
if you spent twenty minutes
reliving your last six months
on Facebook, astounded at the fullness
if the silence is music to your muted soul
if you go to sleep without saying
goodnight to your poetry
letting it settle
in the bottom of your river
while you seep out the windows
and dance with the light
down the sidewalk

if you had said bridge
or to the presidio
if there had been flying involved
and beams
if there had not been a sense
of something fragile
