[meepea]

you're getting smarter
and i just get more sad
watching picture shows
in the windows
flash, bang, and burn out

and i count the fire engines
as they violate the lanes
on parade to appease
some crashed out party

you're going somewhere
and i just go around
putting polish on
the refrigerator hum
spark, shine and black out

and i slouch a sentence
or two off the line
out of time
with the pitter-patter
of your put-together heart

you're learning things
where i'm forgetting
my mistakes 
to make them again
