she said you were no answer
just a ball and just a tether
we had our rounds and now the
schoolyard game well it is over
it was grand really
but the feeling it is fleeting
and I don't recall if it had meaning
promises are best with blood
no one ever calls this our time
so I learned to draw these models
and clock in late for the hero
remedies for hungry kings
the queen wants a new unicorn
while the bridge lies quiet and halfway built
I am drunk on guilt
he said we'd find the answer
if we just kept searching
as he sifted out the words
that fit each sermon
you can tailor readings
but the truth is fleeting
and this leaves me wondering
if it ran off long ago
