summary

she told me to be like the Centurion
and pray:
'help me in my unbelief'

I don't believe I can look you in the eyes
and that is the truth

will you put your fingertips
over my eyelids when the
room gets dark
and we eat popcorn
will you do it softly

this is called extreme temperance
watch me do it with this needle
or this very soft blanket
on John Lennon's birthday

<:& is the emoticon that defines me, I feel.

I went to the smoking area 15 times today
to see if you were there
one time you were

no, sometimes it does hurt to ask.
