A Drill

Do you also feel guilty when you turn on the lights before it's dark
Do your lungs also crack when you breathe in the morning
Do you pray for more interesting thoughts
Are you the exception that destroys the attachment theory
A gratitude list -
My ballet teacher taught me to smile until my cheeks hurt
When I walk into the room I've forgotten what I've come to fetch
I can't promise I'll be the same person when I see you tonight
Will I see you tonight
Well my strong arms are attached firmly to my side
But my weak arms are reaching
Or is it the other way around
Do you have very strong pins
Or perhaps nails
I can finally work a drill
I'm thrilled
Quietly

I'm walking through doorways
To forget
To remember
I'm walking through doorways
To remember to forget
