To a T
I have this nasty habit of…
Sometimes, I find that I…
Often don't know what I…
Have this problem with
figuring out what comes next.
I sometimes slip
and have this history of
turning bruises into flesh wounds
rainstorms into typhoons
molehills into sand dunes
if that makes any sense at all.
I'd let nature take its course
and I'd let it bring its worst

or a fainting spell
or the biggest mind-bend

And that's so ambiguous
and confusing
But it makes some sense to me.
And I find
that I don't know what I'm trying to say.
But I somehow hope
You're something like
a decoder pen
or a Rosetta Stone
or a microscope
Because it would be really awesome
to have something to believe in
these days.
