SORRY AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURRED

consider this an abstract for once because the concrete is taking its toll on us both and i'm all out of change because we took it to the bank but there's no fastlane on this highway and crashing through the gate full speed ahead won't help us escape the fines but it just might wreck the vehicle or kill us both if a sidewalk suddenly appears smack in the middle of an open-ended free-fall or we feel it start to set around our feet and hearts and minds and throats and it is zero to suffocating,constricting, binding without a moment's notice and are we bound to each other or to the ground beneath our feet behind our backs where we've been what we saw who we met when all we wanted was to see and be scene places or times or contexts that rub the this-couldn't-be-more-wrong way with magic fingers that are anything but i long to be back amongst piles of clutter; two but-officer-i-swear-i'm-innocent bystanders caught in a crossfire of mixed signals and unreconciled expectations bumps in the night lines on the desk in the sand up so late it's early and we both have so much class so where's the safety on this thing because my trigger finger's getting itchy but i'm not shooting to kill or shooting blanks just drowning out a silence that is screaming to be heard and i never even knew i was bilingual but it's not just the words and there is nothing wrong with speaking in tongues but you spoke for us both when you said it best the road to hell is paved with good intentions but my label had a caveat (slippery when wet) and we're still all wet behind the ears between the sheets of colored paper a thousand tiny books and oh so many lists kinetic energy becomes a momentum that could facilitate a crash landing or a successful launch but check the thermal blanket before the countdown starts because it's getting kind of hot in here or maybe that's just you but either way i'm not going out on a wire in zero gravity to fix it if you never wanted to go for broke in the first place because this place has no atmosphere but we create our own and it's so hard to find good help these days but if the foundation's just been poured i'll tread lightly but not if it's set i'll dig in my heels because i can't stand for less and i can't even walk in those things but lord knows i can dig so take your coat off, stay awhile, but i can't get too comfortable if it's not a union job and the scabs would leave on their own if i could stop being so picky but i bleed it all dry before the smoke even clears when the bar is set so high we can't even see the top shelf but i'm through with that other swill 'cause i've been there and done them and no matter how i felt going down they never measured up so i bit off more than i could chew to spite my big mouth and save face but i learned a long time ago to watch what i sink my teeth into and yeah i'm still bitter but you certainly sweeten the deal so keep it coming honey because my bad taste is fading fast and all that's left is us and that is all you so give yourself a hand for once but let me hold the other and i'll work on my grip if you start taking some credit because if you don't i'll have to pay cash and banker's hours are for suckers with nothing better to do than submit to those rules play that game beating a hasty retreat into the dark under the covers out of the limelight to pay their dreams a visit but they have no idea what they're missing because i live mine and leave the light on because there's nowhere to run to when there's nothing to hide and i don't need a pool to tell you that the water's fine once you get used to it so go get your feet wet and i'll stay in the deep end because i went off it a long time ago but you're welcome to join me at any time but take a deep breath first and you won't even feel it if you dive right in and it's never sink or swim when we both know how to float the only facets i care about are yours because diamonds have never been any friend of mine there's just glass on this field baby but we can still play ball 'cause that's the shit that keeps us on our toes and off our knees off the bench and i didn't even mind the fireworks with you by my side
