a line or two

---

most dickish when you don't know it

sometimes

---

---

song like a faroff thing

---

There's a love song

like a tower

in the distance

on the road

lyrics murky

tune keeps rising

under the beat

of your steps

but you can't see it all

until you run

your first real one

to sing

the song is rising

and it's closer

as you walk there

knowing, now

it's yours

to give

and on that hill

you're looking down

and you can see it's

meant for you

you understand it

in the distance

looking back

it's oddly small now

little tower

slightly stupid

in the way it leans

there's a love song

by your shoulder

if you bother

looking over

but it

tends to hurt

your eyes

the way it gleams

Observations

--

The trash bags

The many electric lights

and sockets

The stairs

or the window above them

a bottle of cleaner

a scissors

pens

glass shelving panes

the little brown ibuprofen

that rattle in a large bottle

like rain

the passing cars

and trolley
