but she cant
she can hide in the day but the night betrays
shes the only one who makes my home phone jingle
shes the only one who drunk dials
shes the only one whos ring smiles
knock knock when the door just intime for the fireworks
crack crack went the last of the black cats
ugh ugh went the old man
not yet went the quick prayer
sparkly strands braided in her hair
rubber bands on too pale wrists
how on earth are those real
public education aint said ’bout this
whispered kiss me every time you hear a bang
or a pop
or a crackle
and i did and i did and i did and i did
