And Thats Exactly What I Did

And Thats Exactly What I Did

you picked up the snake vertabrae
while i was sticking my toes in the
loops of my purse picturing the lake

you sighted some crested and
i flipped the channels got tails
three times in a row
ran out of rolls

you drove in the dark through an
industrial fog and i saw the sun
so clearly for the first time i cld
have wrote it in a book
but nothings lasting

and soon even the leaves will
change their story

i left my new notebook outside
the gas station by a sign read:
EAT OIL
