If you have to go out,
do you have to go out
wearing that?
I'm not trying to control you.
I am not
that big an idiot,
but have a modicum of decency.
I have overcome just recently
your shapes and smells and sounds,
and then you reappear --
like hot sugar, dear --
to burn the little words out of my mouth.
But, it's okay.
I didn't plan not to drink
this bottle up, anyway.
So, just keep on dancing like that,
and don't forget to tell me about it
when you get back.
'Cause I will be here.
You know that.
I know you know
I know you know that.
But, have a modicum of decency.
I have overcome just recently
your shapes and smells and sounds,
and then you reappear --
like hot honey, dear --
to burn this little tongue
out of my mouth.
But, that's okay.
I didn't plan not to drink
these bottles up, anyway.
So, just keep on laughing with him,
and don't forget to tell me how funny he is
when you get back in.
'Cause I will be here.
I'll be here.
I know you know
I know you know it.
I'll be here.
I'll be here.
