Underwhelm and overthrow me,
Oversell your understanding.
A crisis
Of quiet remarks,
Much like this
Feeling you’re on.
The phrases
We holster for months.
You smile when
I ask what you want.
Lessons and parables heard as a child
All set up the terrible things from your life
And watch you blunder through them.
I asked but you were quite quiet,
I asked but you were quite quiet.
Underwhelm and overthrow me,
Oversell your understanding.
A crisis
Of quiet remarks,
Much like this
Feeling you’re on.
The phrases
We holster for months.
You smile when
I ask what you want.
I asked but you were quite quiet,
I asked but you were quite quiet.
You’ll watch me blunder through this
And wonder how you knew it.
Remember that image of quiet alarm?
You as a mother alive with your songs,
Me as a guard and I’m holding your arm,
Fingertips only; I thought it was wrong.
Underwhelm and overthrow me,
Oversell your understanding.
A crisis
Of quiet remarks,
Much like this
Feeling you’re on.
The phrases
We holster for months.
You smile when
I ask what you want.
