what was it that you said
under kodachrome skies
borrowing breath from turnstiles
while avoiding mental landmines
you hid your feelings
like meaning in the fine print
soured the memories you held
no room on your plate for the bitter mint
you sang "Juniper, Saigon"
like a cherub in the nightscape
fever dreams haunt your mantra
eyes closed you touch the peeled grapes
closetful of hand-me-down smiles
pick me ups and bitter pills
overdose on lonely dark miles
the blankets gone now you've got the chills
that's the way it goes(anybody knows)
