An astronaut lost his ring finger to the back of a grain truck |
|
and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm thinking about it. |
|
Thinking about it, I'm thinking about it. |
|
Isn't everything strange? |
|
Buildings as brick boxes to be opened, |
|
turned sideways and cracked. |
|
Except the what? that is inside is much too fluid, too fast. |
|
The you and I that spiral past the windowsill, |
|
the fire escape is on its back, |
|
watching us swallowed up in the blue and green. |
|
Flaring in the air with the vapor trails from all the first pages. |
|
The same two color contrails that twist around every other color left crowded out. |
|
A record played. The lights go out. |
|
The Cineplex screen presents new strangled spectrums. |
|
What we mean swallowed up in the blue and green. |
|
1979 in a field with a bloody thumb. |
|
Alone with the whir of the grain wheel hum. |
|
Ten years since he saw us all. |
|
He came back to never look another in the eye the same way again. |
|
He walked inside, put his finger in the ice, and didn't flinch at all |
|
He came back to never look another in the eye the same way again. |

He walked inside and put his finger in the ice. |
|
He walked inside, he didn't flinch at all. |
