Wants to Be Beautiful

wants to be beautiful

its not you in the window
but the flowing shape of me
down by the river where she sings
i will try to fill my sails

all the words from boys fly
like paper airplanes in the middle of class
i raised my hand but no one saw
the end of that chapter was my favorite

be good at spelling
please
i will tell you everything i know
close up my mouth is like a universe
dont drive too fast

the strumming sounds like birds wings
and how my heart is beating
my hands feel cold at the ends
kitten on holiday running down the street

i grabbed a handful of the rose petals
and threw them in the sky
in the night as we were walking


( listening to yo la tengo cherry something )
