• safe keeps for the keeps. keeps for the sake. keep these for sakes keep. not keeping me so safe. taking them all with me. in a big keep safe box. safe keeping. keeping them safe. box. one. big safe. box. but, saftey pins, aren't so. safe either. and all these exes and ohs. and "what rhymes with joes" you say slow. i knew you would. so you say hoe. and what do you know know joe. slow hoes wrapped and tied perfectly with pretty pink skirts. never any bows. and you said great. and the bottle-cap, empty packed, already packed. never packed back packs. are in the back. seat. we;re never hungry. so we never have to eat. and we dot and dsah our maps on the way. not before. never knew where we were going. we just went. got bent. and out of shape. you folded. and they didnt show. took a drag. went into the store with a few shirts that printed the american flag. our bags will never be full unpacked. because we're always ready to go. and did you ever grow into those clothes. in five minutes this store is going to close. and in the air port you find the most interesting people. the biggest fuck ups in a steeple. and the happiest are always later traveling. seeing things before. they. kick the. bucket. fuck it. and do you get it? and what is yours will soon be mine. and all my safe keeps that keeps me safe. will keep you safe. too. whats mine is yours. nothing comes in fours. just twos. even the blues. and ceven clues. but the beauty of it all is. ill have you. and he'll have him. and in any case that works out perfectly. and we'll wait for the morning while we're still waiting for today. and in twenty years. you'll be my aunt dawn. you'll pul up the clean white sheet and pull out the dusty shoe box from under your bed. and we'll both try to figure out what kind of cloud was hung over our head. it will be distant and we wont be waiting for the instant where everything comes running back. so instead of burning all the picutres, and used post cards we start to make a stack. and a list. and laugh at the stupid cat who always used to hiss. and the boys we always used to kiss. we'll wonder where they've been all these years. and still nothing comes back. just kids being kids. now looking for all the right lids. for all the bowls in the cabinent. and all the lables. for the kids. that you take. care of. and atleast we know we wont die ion the small town we grew up in. or tell kids about the yards we threw up in. and now. they measure us in metaphored lines. sum us up in one pathetic word. just because we'd rahter take the subway than pay for our gas. and instead of watching the clock pass. in a cubicle. or office. we'll be two kids living. and did you know im terrfied of the ozone layer. and deep water. like drowning in pools. or getting in cars with drunk fools. and im in love with. movies that make you think. boys that stink. and im in love with us. and this bus. and whats all the fuss. about growing up. we still have the rest of our lives. and i dont know if you knew. but this is a life plan. did you know? this is a life plan. and this is it. but hey, kiah i think if we're staying put here for a while. we need to get a fan. we can work at the coffee shop up the street. it might take a few years to get back on our feet again, but id do it again. ill do it again. ill do it. we'll do it. its not forever now. but we;ll do it.
