Subject: if you blink twice, then you'll see my crazy smile.

with a hand smearing your expression about,
your chunks of hair remain plastered in the wind.
your shoe lace follows you.
the only thing that ever follows you anywhere.

it's kinda nice to know that your fall is always one step away.
in a weird, irrational sense that is.

with that pressed flower sitting in your breast pocket.
that's your crazy sentimental side.
always wanting to remember what you once tasted.
even if it was only a mirage dented in your palm.

and all those wheepy looks.
they're the worst.
cos y'know they all run off after patting your shoulder.
continuing their life that they lay out each morning.
right besides their shirt and stockings.

it's confusing, sometimes.
to see people laugh,
and then turn right back around, their first in the air.
a puzzled look means nothing nowadays.
just another expression to be thrown into the pile.

you did try.
once and twice.
but somehow it wasn't suited for you to
breathe in foul air.

and i promise.
i do.
whenever you stand there squinting,
trying to figure out if the sun hates you or not,
i'll stand too.

cos it's allergy season.
and if you're not half dead yet,
then i bet your head stands crooked from afar.

and you'll provide a short violation of my normal variety.
