I’m scratching you out
Yes, I’m scratching you out.
There are
mountains and rivers, capped interstates nine.
There are
problems and detours, 50 miles a tune.
You bring
fire alarms with a sensitive eye
And a watch timed so perfectly,
hands pointing my way.
So I’m scratching you out
Yes. I’m scratching you out.
And a cadence won’t sound when
we’re free of this doubt.
Assuming I get there, no tendons
give out.
