The crow flies over
the trees and mushrooms below
in the city's rain.

a girl looks upon
the diseased corpse of a cat
melting on the street.

darkened clouds ride on
a sky uninhabited
by souls of the dead.

She pulls her hair back
eats a can of spaghetti.
it's above her head.

did you see the bird?
as it arched across the sky.
did you see the bird?

It's Not the End of the World. (Yet)

It's Not the End of the World. (Yet)
by me(whatever)
to: Yiruma's Greatest hits piano

at the end of the world,
if it ever happens.
Surely I'll be with you.
3 seconds until the dimensions close,
one shoe in hand.
Holding tight to the railing,
walking over the city.
There's not much left to tell you.
about myself, about you.
I want to fall headfirst into the universe,
stars and suns and empty blackness
where there's surely enough room
for me to exist.
Yes, it's only a pipe dream,
and I might have to wake up eventually.
There's snails traveling to Capella,
and I can't sleep with all their racket.
Even as she stares at that one far-away place,
fluffy ears, and twitching tail.
Atlas in hand. 
I must close my eyes, back-to-back.
The distance between us is growing more and more.
Well, I've always been alone.
This shouldn't feel any different.
To the mad scientists lair!
And the worlds only we have the map to.
There's no such thing as dragons,
except people.
Down the well, to god, to god.
I have to wonder (to you)
if my existence meant anything at all.
3 seconds until the flame burns out,
and look how the demons get riled up!
I had a dream once,
where I sledded down the hill
and fell off the edge of the earth.
I wonder where all those pathways went.
The ones I walked with you.
I need to sleep.
I need to sleep.

Traffic

Traffic
by me(whatever)
to: Goo Goo Dolls- Iris

It's pretty funny.
you know,
watching your face.
Blink and stare
like traffic lights.
Wondering why
the cars won't stop for you.
and
I could almost laugh,
at the way you talk.
fading in and out.
like the sound of
the gate closing on the railroad.
Waiting for the train
that has never come.
and when
you walk
I feel like snickering.
the way your pace
fits the spaces of the crosswalk
so perfectly.
you know,
For a place
you'll never reach.
yeah.
It's pretty funny.

I wanted to know,
the distance between me and the moon.
On that windy day when the rain and the trees
were all I could hear.

I wanted to know,
the distance between the Earth and the world.
On the opposite road when the children
played helicopter.

I wanted to know,
the distance between me and you.
On the lilac bush where the bottle
fell from the clouds.
