time heals all wounds, except those he causes...

(this is just an attempt to get down some phrases to save for later use. i blame the others for the rest of it.)

tick
****
you are the one
who makes us run
through streets at 3AM
in nothing but bare feet
(soled with grit and bottle bits)
and the skin of a dead acrylic -
who makes us fall in love,
terribly, with unsuitable
people, and say the wrong things
at just the moments when
you are slow and drowsy...
then you know, we're never happy
with you, we want to hire
someone more efficient, who
works at our pace and not
against it, old daddy, who doesn't
stain and embarrass us,
showing us how to lose
everything, utterly without grace,
someone whose voice isn't like
nails on a cosmic chalkboard.

but then sometimes, after doing
your worst, we come home
and sob into our wretched pillows,
and you cuff us on the shoulder
and say, "daddy'll fix it."
