At three in the morning, I ran into a bear outside
And you were not far, doing shrooms with strangers
And I swear I could hear you from my window
You were right down the trail, through the big brown bark
So I called you to tell you that I just escaped a bear near by
And that you should come home
So that night, I went looking for you
And your voice, it got farther away
I didn’t trust the bear, and I didn’t trust them
So I ran, and I ran, through the woods
Hoping that I would get to you in time
Out of breath I saw you with them
Far enough that you couldn’t see me
The smile on your face made me sick
That they made you feel so very safe
And I must have been like a cold on a sunny afternoon
When I approached you guys
You looked at me like a rash on your skin
And you said, “Hey, how did you find us?
I don’t need you, because we are fine
And you always get so scared
So I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Tomorrow
Tomorrow

Wobbly House

She walked outside
Her brownstone house
To see that the taxi
He called for her
Had not arrived
Helpless, she looked
Like she just had
A decision made for her
He said, “why do you look
So damn uncomfortable.”
And she said,
“I can’t believe
You said that. I can’t
Believe you came over
To tell me that. Like it was gonna
Make either one of us
Feel better
A kid walked by
Dressed all up for a blizzard
She wondered if
He had helpless parents too
The cab arrived
Spare, rundown, and wobbly
She got in the back
With her empty bag
To a part of town she’s never needed to go
And she said,
“I can’t believe
You said that. I can’t
Believe you came over
To tell me that. Like it was gonna
Make either one of us
Feel any better
