CONVERSATIONS

Trying to come up
trying to come up,
trying to come up
with conversations
with you.
There was this man saw him move in upstairs
holding long playing records and magazines
The hallway is full of magnets and ropes
tugging at me constantly...
“Tell me what’s your story.”
“Do you like the city?”
“I am a singer an a Mowton boy.”
“Where had you lived and did you like it?”
“I love the springtime and I’m single!“
“What’s your favourite band?”
“Are you the one for me?”
Trying to come up...
Your faucet moans into my train of thought.
The heat of your stove sounds like your bored.
A flickering lamp, an uncomfortable break,
maximizing your desire, minimizing my mistakes.
And like a UPS man driving up on a winter morning,
bringing twentyfive flavours of haagen-dazs.
You were walking home with worried eyes.
“Did you forget your keys?”
“This once happened to me,
I had to climb in through a window to get back in here.”
“So if you’re locked out man, you know I’ve got no plans,
I could order some delivery, I’ve got beer!”
“The Super’s off in Philly, I know that this sounds silly,
But you might have to stay over at my place.”
“I know that space is tight, guess I’ll be polite,
and let you sleep in my bed.”
Trying to come up...
With conversations
with you.
