1.
all the words from my neighbors' lungs hang around my head which is all beaten up and infested you look at my hands: up and down so i put them in my pockets i'm so tired i cannot sleep we don't grow softly disappear into the train stop i will turn and spill my coffee and late that night: we'll talk and all the while my head will hurt tomorrow we will turn off our alarms and forget we did tomorrow we will leap outside too unprotected
2.
i left my head in the ground my feet in the air and my lips on your teeth and the book underneath me and you spoke into my ear and i wrote on your chest near your heart and your veins ands your face breaks me my eyes on the roof your hair in my mouth i've too much reflex in my bones too breathing in my lungs and i've kept my keys from shaking when i'm alone my primitive fists locked up and sewn into the bottom of my pants so keep my close and breathe me and don't let the clouds fog up your feet
3.
inside of my head she paints pictures and rests i start and we best be, we best be gone. she talks next to me, little groans and gasps that she speaks. i walked home and the wind hit me i'm somewhere in the city. and i'm somewhere in her town snow broken on my shoulder i get lost in her veins my brother's in hollywood now he practices sad monologues he practices sad monologues we used to play we used to play in the garage and i know that the winter's up here but i feel so crowded when i'm not home and i can't fall asleep yet so cus i know it's not safe here in boston and i can't die in this room yet i'm somewhere in the city and i'm somewhere in her town. snow broken on my shoulder i get lost in her veins and i can almost hear it through the walls the manner in which you shiver and fall someone's smoking out my door and i'm walking now pacing and when you call i'm gone

Baby i'm a menace i'm a fool but there's nothing i can do draped across the bed talking to you maybe i'm a menace maybe i'm a fool there's nothing i can do oh i'm ashamed as you construe my brain for some killer some demon some menace some fool
