Laughing and Crying

I was preparing for what already happened and when it happened I Was well rehearsed They had my key My key to my house Quiet as a mouse Lips over teeth Fingers over mouths Marching us down the stairs I remember the eyes All tied up like Christmas gifts Bad dawn Too upsetting to see I scared myself when I caught myself laughing No sleep feeling, like when the Australian demanded to be Hospitalized All in all, I ran from something еlse, but something elsе went There instead In the uncanny repetitions we’ll be headed that way once again
