Carefully

Last night, I dreamt so carefully I almost fell back asleep at sea Snuck back into my apartment quietly Past rivers branching back and forth Have you heard the paper birds laughing? They don't need a reaction And I never say anything at all You woke up with the same mouth Saying that you're best at Often changing your mind You stutter, but don't answer Keep secrets like treasures Hiding like a banker You go out of your way to stay the same
