List of Distractions

On your list of distractions
Are there stars beside my name?
Filling up with happiness
Japanese poetry
If the evening loses momentum
Take this in your lights will shake
Just the way that they invent them
Separate beds when we wake
Light up this
Glass house with
Roman candles and paraffin lamps
Sparklers from North Korea
It’s good to see you, it’s good to see you
Where do you see yourself
This December dear?
Not in this blessed shelter
Holding your head and crying
Like a neon sign
That gets thrown from side to side
Light up this
Glass house with
Roman candles and parrafin lamps
Sparklers from North Korea
It’s good to see you, I’ll get these lights out
Overhead projector, overhead, overhead…
