tutti frutti

Let's play hide and seek across the country.

I'll send you a postcard and you try to find me. 

stumble through the alphabet to find the letters to form the words

that can't explain anything. 

do you cross your J's and dot your i's?

what do you romanticize? 

artificial banana flavor is THE best flavor.

much better than actual banana flavor. 

the moment is never right for what I know is wrong.

my memory is always sending mixed messages,

but your awkward appeal is starting to wear off,

I can hear you looking at me, 

tell me the right words before it's too late. 

I may explode or implode from nervousness. 

I need the sun to warm my skin,

 feel grass between my toes again

and climb the trash cans in the alley 

so I can chain smoke on the roof of the garage

before I move.
