A frightened boy counts time to a slow blip
Each takes longer than the diagnosis
You shuddered to a touch
I noticed
And your piano's out of tune now
Clumsy fingers attempt to evoke you
Like stupid hands will fail to do
Dissonance fills the room
It's my MO
When she says
I want to go to heaven
But it moves too slow
The quiet fear's never how I envisioned this
It's so stiff in here I can't stand it
It's such a drag to vanish
Your only son won't hear from your siblings anytime soon
When prideful anger sears through every root
His eyes reach out and theirs appear removed
Dissonance fills the room
It's my MO
When she says
I want to go to heaven
What if heaven says no
So I fought for your piano
Because I remember you back then
Play that one again
He likes it
And you're not like them
You asked me how I liked this world I'd discovered
I never heard that again
It's my MO
When she says
I want to go to heaven
But it moves too slow
The moment comes I feel indifferent
They said you were best after a drink

at this age reminded me of the naive optimism of high school. dent is more like the college student who tries to remain optimistic in the face of a world that contradicts itself at every turn. fartintheelevator
