HEARD BEFORE


got fired for writing poetry
dangle off the cliff its the grand canyone
again and again it is saying jump
the bridge is popular
a choice many make to get further from the asking river
it calls out like mirah singing in yr car
spring some year before you ever met the girl
you are in love w/ right now
where are the fireworks
i can see a summer almost every turn
it goes w/o saying i need an escape
from this brain
i remembered walking on a railroad track
w/ my family when i was young
it was strange bc we rarely did things as a family
picking up small animal bones
and discarded iron spikes
i kept one for a few years
before leaving it somewhere
