Mosquito Brain

Even if I gotta wait til the summer to know it for sure
I wanna find out which one of us the mosquitos prefer
Ever the life of the party you can’t tell the dance from the game
You really been doing a number on such a particular part of my brain
Why can’t we just feel this out
Play it cool
Share a silence in a pool
Until we
Confess something ugly
Its not that its heavy
I just can’t find a way to
Hold it without breaking
My grip is still a bit shaky every time I try
I’m hoping to see you on days where we happen to share a commute
The sun is a smudge and you’re teasing me out to the edge of the stoop
A shadow descends on the kingdom of muscle that writhes on your back
I’ve really been eager to learn which one of us the mosquitos will attack
Can one of us break the seal
Pull the thread
Voices cracking
Faces red
Until we
Confess something ugly
Its not that its heavy
I just can’t find a way to
Hold it without breaking
My grip is still a bit shaky every time I try
Are you not home
Or are you just in the zone
I hope you know
That all it would take
Is both of us pumping our breaks
How dare you pull a “me”
And up the stakes
Will it be you or be me that’ll give the mosquitos a taste
The sun is a smudge on the back of your head as you’re setting the pace
I’m watching you flake the rope
Check the knot
Feed me slack and bite into my heart
Until we
Confess something ugly
Its not that its heavy
I just can’t find a way to
Hold it without breaking
My grip is still a bit shaky every time I try
So let me know if you decide
To turn something ugly
Into something nice
And I’ll help find a way to
Hold it without breaking

Even when you hurt me
It still feels like a birthday
Stepping on a dead bee
Dying in a wet dream
Could we share a habitat?
A know it all and a copycat
Tied up like a rat king
Running in a bad dream
Hoping you don’t see me
As the lemur to your millipede
Even if you want me
Take it easy with the taunting
You impale me on a callback
Like a lantern fly through a thumbtack
Could we share a habitat?
A porcupine and a vampire bat
Drinking from a Dead Sea
Swimming through a bad dream
Hoping that you hear me
From your end of our syzygy
Leaning in the back seat
You take my hand and ask me
“Can we say this is ok now?”
Don’t know how this’ll play out
But either way it’s working
It still feels like a birthday
You melt me down like sterling
