I was 'far too good at reading for my own age'
Such that I never made it to the final page
I cut myself and then I bled
Now you're speeding way ahead
I remember feeling good
Not for my age
Like a monument to human misery
We idolise the calloused hands
and then shake them from our plans
What a wonderment
To macho history
We kiss among the rabid plains
A tendency to over explain.
You were beautiful, naive
Not to the learned
A touch of the darkness and the light
Still left it to burn
And all the things I never said
With my silence I misled
You were beautiful and keen
to discern my head
Like a monument to human misery
We idolise the calloused hands
and then shake them from our plans
What a wonderment
To macho history
We kiss among the rabid plains
A tendency to over explain.
