Send me a big smile
Envelope me in your arms
Tape my knees across my tummy
Shut me up inside a cardboard box
Litter it with first cla** stamps and
Tell me that I'm number one
Maybe a sticker or two to
Show everyone that I'm fun
Remember that you needn't bother
Pack me a lunch box or water
Just remember that I love you
Just remember that you'll never
See me ever again
My body got messed up on the train
A case of wine and some
Boxes of knives fell
On my face. Now
I am going to die
I close my eyes and listen to my
Insides becoming outsides
I listen to them wave and file
Out of me in a parade
My kidneys descend hand in hand
After the storm has cleared
Like a couple of soggy truffles
Or a loving pair of deer
Well, I wasn't built quite strong enough
To keep them warm and safe
I cried as your heart tumbled out with mine
Our love would never propagate
Maybe I could find a boat to
Take us both away
I wouldn't have to miss you anymore
I promise it would be the same
I'd listen to you giggle
And I'd listen to your heart beat faster
With every caress
I'd listen long into each morning after
