i’m not that good with surprises
i need to know what’s behind the horizon
can i confide in
you for a minute
i’m tryin’ to self-sacrifice to Poseidon
dad’s happy place was an island
he would go fly there when chemo was driving
up through his eyelids
couldn’t envision
that he would die then he did
it’s no wonder i’m whining
over what i don’t expect to climb in my timing
