Semipermastasis Blues

Waiting for the end of the service

If we leave early we'll offend

Sleight of hand welcomes us home

Despite which ways my knees will bend

And I know that you don't love me

And I know that I'm clean and can run

The floors are lush but they are not even

Cracking glass forms wide outlines

I think the dosage is different than before

And bright red eyes bring troubling signs

And I know that you don't love me

And I know that I'm clean and can run

I've got a grip on reality

But I know that nothing can be done

There is a view from the top of the world

Of the tenuous grasp of the unfurled
