I CAN DRINK SUCCESSFUL

WITH THE MOON OUT THERE,

US BOTH SO FAR AWAY.

I CAN DRINK A CUP FULL

WITH THAT SAD TUNE OUT THERE,

US BOTH SO FAR AWAY.

THE NEED TO WALK FROM

WHERE IT IS LOUD

FEELS LIKE THIRST.

YET MY CUP IS FULL

OF WHAT KEEPS ME

RIGHT HERE NEXT TO THE NOISE.

ALL THESE SHAPES IN MY HEAD

SHOULD REASSEMBLE THEMSELVES

AS THOUGH WHAT I’VE SAID

TOLD THE WORDS NOT TO TELL

THIS EYE OPENS ALONG WITH THE OTHER

THIS EAR TAKES IN THE SAME SOUND AS THE OTHER

MEMORY NEVER THE SAME

THE FRAME LOOKS THE SAME

BUT SOMETHING HAS CHANGED
