Or to blatantly lie
Is to answer you wholeheartedly
And pay you your due respect
To blanket the windows
And add scratches to the surface
Only enhances the span of the sun;
The way it spreads in small chips across your eye
Then, when I blanket the sun
And shade your day
With hushed chorus
You remember all names at once
Before we add too much weight
To anything I can actually do
Or did or didn't
You should know about gaps in the base paint, creaks in the stairs
In the only way we know
We touch ourselves and others
Symbolizing all the important steps
Exploration, enlightenment, assuredness, decay
After falling off a jungle gym
And hitting your head
You will be blessed with stigmata
No one will ever be able to forge
In this growth spurt
You relay an important message
Namely, soup and crackers
Pinks, blues and purples
Let's make this about you
