(no subject)

today will disappear again, my dear
but listen: were it impossible, the sheer nerve

would be enough-- but now--
tick tock, tick tock, it's time

for groceries and laundry, quarters & dimes
i unplugged the phone, my clothes are fine

if i knew you, i could've saved you then
don't look so uncertain, i could've listened

as you asked me why
the things we knew remain

untouchable looking back
through the rearview.
