it's possible you'll break my heart.
"i'll be the grapes fermented, bottled and served
in my finest suit like the perfect gentleman.
i'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick
where you will sit and contemplate your day.
i'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning
in an open tap when your judgement's on the brink.
i'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite albums back
as you're lying there, drifitng off to sleep...
i'll be the platform shoes, undo what heredity's done to you,
you won't have to strain to look into my eyes.
i'll be your wintercoat, buttoned zipped straight to the throat
with the collar up, so you won't catch cold.
i want to take you far from the cynics in this town
and kiss you on the mouth.
we'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
start a brand new colony.
where everything will change,
we'll give ourselves new names, identities erased.
the sun will heat the ground under our bare feet
in the brand new colony.
everything will change..."
it's not much. but it says enough.
