dirty reconstruction
02.25.08 (12:07 am) [edit]
You say I’m all wound up; I say you’re just too loose. So we both agree We need a little screw To fit together, flush and snug--
A few turns left, a few twists right Against hard wood And we’ll be good to go. Quit digging around in my toolbox Trying to find an extra nail For that hammer that’s been laying There for nights and days. If that doesn’t work, You can be the superglue That holds us together for a little while. But maybe, just maybe You’re a frayed knot, you’re nuts, you’ll bolt-- Heart wrenched, I’ll saw right through you. Forget it – we’ll level it off And leave it be If only to be left crooked and hanging Over uneven floors.
