Enormous Understatement

Sometimes things go well

sometimes shit gets hairy

what’s new becomes old 

what’s unknown seems scary

so tell me please because I need to know 

if your heart feels any warmer 

when I say with enormous understatement

that I like you in my corner.

The Things That Fall From Ledges Tall

And those that hit us from nearer 

nonetheless produce effects 

which strike particularly similar. 

The Dangling Hearts are Easily Plucked

A man like me will wear you out 

I'll be inside your head 

or worse your heart

and play those strings

don't let me in your bed

to feel the things I like to feel

hear the things I like to say

mine’s soft too and just as red

if you feel it beating

run away.
