Porcupines sleep better then pine cones
but that doesn't mean it's any safer
I'm spent defunct
is it even night yet
I paced the entire length of the BART
while it traveled under the bay
I'm telling you I walked to Oakland
underwater
and now Jesus has a bet to pay
tell me if we're catching up yet
or if it's just caught in your throat
and please don't mention the weather
it's still sleet makes us scream
and snowflakes that make us childish
Just keep your eyes closed and tell me
that tornadoes make you dizzy
and you feed the ducks before the geese
how you invented the bridge
because no one could get over it
but you can't
you mailed your tongue to the monks
with letters like
I had something worse to say
or
I'm speechless
but you still stop and listen to sirens
because you told me
ambulances are living up to their names.
