Send me a big smile. Envelope me in your arms. Tape my knees across my tummy. Shut me up inside a cardboard box. Litter it with first class stamps and Tell me that I'm number one. Maybe a sticker or two to Show everyone that I'm fun. Remember that you needn't bother Pack me a lunch box or water. Just remember that I love you. Just remember that you'll never See me ever again. My body got messed up on the train. A case of wine and some Boxes of knives fell On my face. Now, I am going to die. I close my eyes and listen to my Insides becoming outsides. I listen to them wave and file Out of me in a parade. My kidneys descend hand in hand After the storm has cleared Like a couple of soggy truffles Or a loving pair of deer. Well, I wasn't built quite strong enough To keep them warm and safe. I cried as your heart tumbled out with mine. Our love would never propagate. Maybe I could find a boat to Take us both away. I wouldn't have to miss you anymore. I promise it would be the same. I'd listen to you giggle And I'd listen to your heart beat faster With every caress, I'd listen long into each morning after.
