The Lasting Last of You

I remember the passing train

Leaves fall in the yard

Just like Hannukah

You stayed up on the wall

Briefly all things considered

So it goes

But the line was open

The sound of water in the pipes

Do what we wanna do

This is your life

And you gave it all away

That spelling grandma was a bitch

It was calling out your name

Flushing and uncapping

Stepping down and outward

It's been a fucking lovely day

I'm familiar with the way things are 'round here

It could slow me down

Get familiar with this article

Here we are

Headlights from a mourning star

Just common proof

Of how high the roof is

Everything is marginal

I used to be afraid of planes

There once was a winner

I thought I was a winner

It's not like some mystery

Something happens to our brains

Sometimes these things just come to me

Was the way it was explained

The lasting last

How high the roof is

And it was explained

Won't slow you down

The lasting last of you

And the printed word

So familiar
