Visit Me

Everyone’s home in sweatpants for the series finale
Of their discontinued fall primetime
Meredith’s in Massachusetts with a colonial toothache
And the leaves to rake are burning themselves so I’m
Home watching my dad watch the NFL alone
Wish I still had that eternal telephone
I’d call you
So come on down and visit me
My condition petitions so implicitly
I need you
I need you
I’m stuck inside each birthday gift that I ever got
I’m stuck inside the sounds they make
When they shift and rot
Beneath you
Beneath you
I want a living love and mental access denser
That the motel continental breakfast cereal dispenser
I want those eyes you made it me
Those bedside globes
Those orbs
I want your spilt coffee burning my inner thighs
And the watermarks that measure my oscillating size
When it dries and absorbs
So come on down and visit me
My condition petitions so implicitly
I need you
I need you
I’m stuck inside the rhythm of your glottal stops
A bottle of codeine and green cough drops
I feed you
I feed you
Everyone’s home in sweatpants for the series finale
Of their discontinued childhoods
I wound up in Providence as a second-rate dramatist
And I’d write the second act if I just could
So come on down and visit me
My condition petitions so implicitly
I need you
I need you
I wrote it on the notepad of the suggestion box
I’ll still breathe the desperation till the kingdom unlocks
For me too
For me too
