If I broke my jaw for you,
I'd find a bloody tooth and rip it out
Throw it in the water
Where it'd float until the river let it out
Out across the flood plain
it would float until it reached the open sea
underneath the sand and silt,
and in between the smooth stones and seaweed
love is like a spaceship
burning up when it hits the atmosphere
wishing that for once it might have wised up right
and stayed away from here
up in outer space where there's no oxygen
and nothing makes a sound
Martians built canals to bring the water
and to sail their vessels down
