A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And a Necklace

Alright "So long, everything!" He shouted Then he ran next door to Mar- (Margot's) house "I'm moving," he said "Where?" Asked Margot "Two weeks away, two weeks away?" (Yes) he said Mitchell "Where is that?" Asked Margot "It's everywhere I will be after I walk for two weeks," said Mitchell "I have lived in the (same place) the same place for a long time It is time for me to go some place ils-, else" "No," said Margot, "You have only lived Next door for 15 years" "16," said Mitchell "15, six (what's the difference?) what's the difference?" Said Margot "I want you to stay next door forever" "I can't," said Mitchell "I do not want to go wake up in the same old bedroom, and Eat breakfast in the same old kitchen Every-, every room in my house is the same old room Because I have been there too long" You turn on a spindle You're so much looser now But you're not explaining how You've gained such new repose I touch the clasp of your locket With its picture held Some secret you wouldn't tell But let it choke your neck So, we imagine a darkness Where all shapes divide Solids changing into light With a burst of heat so bright Well, fine, don't you do what I want you to Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do 'Cause you don't depend upon all the shit That I use to make my moods improve "And you look at me and think same old face Same old tail, same old (scales) scales, same old walk Same old talk," said Margot "No," said Mitchell "I like your face, tail, scales, walk and talk" "I like you" "I like you, I like-, like- (like), like you too," said Mitchell He walked to the door "I must pack," he said Near a sea of pianos, there were waves of chords That crashed against the shore In one huge and useless roar And there were girls bringing water Like a dream they came to cool the fever of my brain And soothe my burning throat And they made me a necklace Hanging beads of sweat on a string of my regrets And placed it 'round my neck And they were singing, "Don't you do what you've wanted to Yeah, don't destroy yourself like those cowards do Maybe the sun keeps coming up, because it's gotten Used to you, and your constant need for proof"
