The Lasting Last of You

I remember the passing train
Leaves fall in the yard
Just like Hannukah
You stayed up on the wall
Briefly all things considered
So it goes
But the line was open
The sound of water in the pipes
Do what we wanna do
This is your life
And you gave it all away
That spelling grandma was a bitch
It was calling out your name
Flushing and uncapping
Stepping down and outward
It’s been a fucking lovely day
I’m familiar with the way things are 'round here
It could slow me down
Get familiar with this article
Here we are
Headlights from a mourning star
Just common proof
Of how high the roof is
Everything is marginal
I used to be afraid of planes
There once was a winner
I thought I was a winner
It’s not like some mystery
Something happens to our brains
Sometimes these things just come to me
Was the way it was explained
The lasting last
How high the roof is
And it was explained
Won’t slow you down
The lasting last of you
And the printed word
So familiar
