Sore at the knees, dulcet
Rain-spelled afternoon
Delinquent in its misery,
Fuzzy line between film
And the theorist’s projectability
Easy to know, how
I open my mouth to your doubt,
You gloze for me still, only
Melody where the itch is,
The perfect music solemnly
Is broken, may we hear it again,
You sneeze in the kitchen
I give no blessing,
Esprit is for us a difference,
Perfection amputates the limbs
No matter how loudly we clamor
For magic in our lives
Happiness is left a torso
