so you know what its like to need someone to want you
and your need and their want are oil and water on canvas
on canvas
or concrete
your need and their want spread colors on snowy steps
and tell you they existed
your need
and their want have everything laid out ahead
two paralell paths on paved back roads
two shotgun shells on a shelf from IKEA
plants wihtout seeds
your need and their
want
have nothing to talk about at dinner
have nothing to hook and eye to
have nothing
your need
and their want
are hungry beings left cold cuts to the chest and back
hooked on the phone lines like fleetwood
they are in chairs one seat apart R e a c h i n g
your need and their want
are crowded beings
in a crowded room
in a silent city
of
Men
and Gold
