Flightless bird, American mouth..

I was a quick wet boy..
Diving too deep for coins..
All of your straight blind eyes..
Wide on my plastic toys..
And when the cops closed the fair..
I cut my long baby hair..
Stole me a dog-eared map..
And called for you everywhere..

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping..
Or lost you?
American mouth..
Big bill looming..

Now I’m a fat house cat..
Cursing my sore blunt tongue..
Watching the warm poison rats..
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks..
Kissing on magazine photos..
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean..
Blood of Christ mountain stream..

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding..
Or lost you?
American mouth..
Big bill, stuck going down..

hauntingly beautiful, depressing sad love song..
just perfectly emo..for my state of mind and emotions currently..
