Answer
|
|
When
|
|
I
|
|
look
|
|
back,
|
|
tracing
|
|
fingertips
|
|
over
|
|
plastic
|
|
bags
|
|
Thinking,
|
|
"I
|
|
wish
|
|
I
|
|
could
|
|
extrapolate
|
|
some
|
|
small
|
|
intention
|
|
Or
|
|
maybe
|
|
just
|
|
get
|
|
your
|
|
attention
|
|
for
|
|
a
|
|
minute
|
|
or
|
|
two"
|
|
Will
|
|
I
|
|
die?
|
|
Or
|
|
will
|
|
I
|
|
get
|
|
to
|
|
that
|
|
ten
|
|
year
|
|
mark?
|
|
Where
|
|
I
|
|
beat
|
|
the
|
|
extinction
|
|
of
|
|
telomeres?
|
|
And
|
|
if
|
|
I
|
|
do,
|
|
will
|
|
you
|
|
be
|
|
there
|
|
with
|
|
me,
|
|
Father,
|
|
Sister,
|
|
Brother?
|
|
Charlie,
|
|
stop
|
|
smoking
|
|
Caroline,
|
|
will
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
you
|
|
be
|
|
with
|
|
me?
|
|
Will
|
|
the
|
|
baby
|
|
be
|
|
alright?
|
|
Will
|
|
I
|
|
have
|
|
one
|
|
of
|
|
mine?
|
|
Can
|
|
I
|
|
handle
|
|
it
|
|
even
|
|
if
|
|
I
|
|
do?
|
|
It's
|
|
said
|
|
that
|
|
my
|
|
mind
|
|
Is
|
|
not
|
|
fit,
|
|
or
|
|
so
|
|
they
|
|
said,
|
|
to
|
|
carry
|
|
a
|
|
child
|
|
I
|
|
guess
|
|
I'll
|
|
be
|
|
fine
|
|
It
|
|
wasn't
|
|
my
|
|
idea,
|
|
the
|
|
cocktail
|
|
of
|
|
things
|
|
that
|
|
twists
|
|
neurons
|
|
inside
|
|
But
|
|
without
|
|
them,
|
|
I'd
|
|
die
|
|
They
|
|
say
|
|
there's
|
|
irony
|
|
in
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
the
|
|
music,
|
|
it's
|
|
a
|
|
tragedy,
|
|
I
|
|
See
|
|
nothing
|
|
Greek
|
|
in
|
|
it
|
|
Give
|
|
me
|
|
a
|
|
mausoleum
|
|
in
|
|
Rhode
|
|
Island
|
|
with
|
|
Dad,
|
|
Grandma,
|
|
Grandpa,
|
|
and
|
|
Dave
|
|
Who
|
|
hung
|
|
himself
|
|
real
|
|
high
|
|
In
|
|
the
|
|
National
|
|
Park
|
|
sky,
|
|
it's
|
|
a
|
|
shame
|
|
and
|
|
I'm
|
|
crying
|
|
right
|
|
now
|
|
To
|
|
get
|
|
to
|
|
you,
|
|
save
|
|
you,
|
|
if
|
|
I
|
|
take
|
|
my
|
|
life
|
|
Find
|
|
your
|
|
astral
|
|
body,
|
|
put
|
|
it
|
|
into
|
|
my
|
|
arms
|
|
Give
|
|
you
|
|
two
|
|
seconds
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
to
|
|
cry
|
|
Take
|
|
you
|
|
home,
|
|
I,
|
|
I'll
|
|
give
|
|
you
|
|
a
|
|
blanket
|
|
Your
|
|
spirit
|
|
can
|
|
sit
|
|
and
|
|
watch
|
|
TV
|
|
by
|
|
my
|
|
side
|
|
'Cause,
|
|
baby,
|
|
I
|
|
Ran
|
|
through
|
|
a
|
|
time
|
|
when
|
|
I
|
|
felt
|
|
you
|
|
were
|
|
doing
|
|
it
|
|
I
|
|
couldn't
|
|
handle
|
|
it,
|
|
I
|
|
was
|
|
in
|
|
Monaco
|
|
I
|
|
couldn't
|
|
hear
|
|
what
|
|
they
|
|
said
|
|
on
|
|
the
|
|
telephone
|
|
I
|
|
had
|
|
to
|
|
sing
|
|
for
|
|
the
|
|
prince
|
|
in
|
|
two
|
|
hours
|
|
Sat

|
the

shower

Answer
|
|
Gave
|
|
myself
|
|
two
|
|
seconds
|
|
to
|
|
cry
|
|
It's
|
|
a
|
|
shame
|
|
that
|
|
we
|
|
die
|
|
When
|
|
I
|
|
was
|
|
fifteen,
|
|
naked,
|
|
next-door
|
|
neighbors
|
|
did
|
|
a
|
|
drive-by
|
|
Pulled
|
|
me
|
|
up
|
|
by
|
|
my
|
|
waist,
|
|
long
|
|
hair
|
|
to
|
|
the
|
|
beach
|
|
side
|
|
I
|
|
wanted
|
|
to
|
|
go
|
|
out
|
|
like
|
|
you,
|
|
swim
|
|
with
|
|
the
|
|
fishes
|
|
That
|
|
he
|
|
caught
|
|
on
|
|
Rhode
|
|
Island
|
|
beaches
|
|
But,
|
|
sometimes,
|
|
it's
|
|
just
|
|
not
|
|
your
|
|
time
|
|
Caroline,
|
|
what
|
|
kind
|
|
of
|
|
mother
|
|
was
|
|
she
|
|
to
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
say
|
|
I'd
|
|
end
|
|
up
|
|
in
|
|
institutions?
|
|
All
|
|
I
|
|
wanted
|
|
to
|
|
do
|
|
was
|
|
kiss
|
|
Aaron
|
|
Greene
|
|
and
|
|
sit
|
|
by
|
|
The
|
|
lake,
|
|
twisting
|
|
lime
|
|
into
|
|
the
|
|
drinks
|
|
that
|
|
they
|
|
made
|
|
Have
|
|
a
|
|
babe
|
|
at
|
|
sixteen
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
town
|
|
I
|
|
was
|
|
born
|
|
in,
|
|
and
|
|
die
|
|
Aaron
|
|
ended
|
|
up
|
|
dead
|
|
and
|
|
not
|
|
me
|
|
What
|
|
the
|
|
fuck's
|
|
wrong
|
|
in
|
|
your
|
|
head
|
|
to
|
|
send
|
|
me
|
|
away,
|
|
never
|
|
to
|
|
come
|
|
back?
|
|
Exotic
|
|
places

|
|
Answer
|
|
and
|
|
people
|
|
don't
|
|
take
|
|
the
|
|
place
|
|
of
|
|
being
|
|
your
|
|
child
|
|
I
|
|
give
|
|
myself
|
|
two
|
|
seconds
|
|
to
|
|
cry
|
|
Let
|
|
it
|
|
crash
|
|
over
|
|
me
|
|
Like
|
|
the
|
|
waves
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
sea
|
|
Call
|
|
me
|
|
Aphrodite,
|
|
as
|
|
they
|
|
bow
|
|
down
|
|
to
|
|
me
|
|
Sunbather,
|
|
moon
|
|
chaser,
|
|
queen
|
|
of
|
|
empathy
|
|
I
|
|
give
|
|
myself
|
|
two
|
|
seconds
|
|
to
|
|
breathe
|
|
And
|
|
go
|
|
back
|
|
to
|
|
being
|
|
a
|
|
serene
|
|
queen
|
|
I
|
|
just
|
|
needed
|
|
two
|
|
seconds
|
|
to
|
|
be
|
|
me
|
|
