Texting

[Verse]

Lately I've been looking through mud

Standing where I've always been

Then you sent me a little message in blue

And it said, "What's up?"

And the mud

It cleared right up, too

Making a plan is harder than it looks

I hold out rocks for you to take a look at them

I like to think of everyone's names

Floating and written above their heads

I'll meet you in the middle seat

Your cupboards are full of plates from the 24-hour place

You told me things you told nobody else

A U-Haul passes with some facts about an orchid

In the RBC ATM line, I think of you and sterilе minerals

In the water and outsidе the apartment you share with all your furniture

Dinner in a can, and a hotel laptop screen reflected by another one

Grid of a shopping cart, intersection welds, try to touch it

Little Caesars to-go cup

Sunwashed plastic garbage bin, blue now from the cornflower sun

Handles like Madonna's nails, picking zits in home depot, and the tread in your shoes

You're a fast tripper

Petition on a rusted lamp, soft chorus of cellos

Blocks out trucks with blackout windows

Rabbits Looking

Familiar Lysol smell of a scrubbed business

Take my money and mean it, high-vis biker in an old Halloween mask

Shoulder-to-shoulder resting SUVs

I walk home from the movies

'Cause I don't have a car anymore

At twenty-nine, I feel sick

But I'm just getting started on my medicine

And the lady in blue platform sandals

Cracks the foam and her heels to match

Takes a hose from the side of the house and waters her square inch of soil at 10:22

From sod to seed, Loveday Mushroom

I've been texting

I've been texting

I've been texting
