26. The First "Other"

============================================

The womb was cold
The engine drowning out the knell
It had her smell
The shadow formed an empty sphere

We hit that deer
I really hate it when you're here
It makes me sick
We're so unkind
We're so unclear

I scare myself
I'm just as bad as all those guys
With depraved eyes
You turn the corner and speed up

You see your breath
You see the steeple through the mist
She made me lunch
She made me cold
She dropped her wrist

Everyone's in love
Everything's in place
Firemen save cats
While you only save face

When was the last time
You changed how you spoke
Try to make more friends
And try to make more jokes

The cafe Christmas lights
Reflect on your Coke
Through the wall at night
You listen to her choke
