lyrics

Keep it brief. Tuck tape
Around the bad spots.
Carve a knife into the person that you think you are.
Let it sit there long enough
To make a mess, then clean it up.
Some lies let us live a little longer.
Some kill us faster, too.
Guess I'll keep chewing on this.
You agree, I agree, there's nothing wrong with getting older,
Except getting older.
A phone rings every time someone dies
Otherwise
It stays quiet.
I put sestinas on the radio to hear the words repeat. A form
can make it feel complete
When nothing else will.
You can't just
Hit a pause button. We have to
find another way
To be still.

Stop moving. Stop moving.
Stop moving. Stop moving.
Stop moving. Stop moving.
Stop moving. Stop moving.

(Learn to say no. Don't
Make the bed for someone you don't even want to share it with.
It's just a pattern that you've been sewn into.
Some quilts have guilt in every square.
Shame is the way I wear myself out.
It's like listening to how a book has put it and not yourself.)
