thanks to the cacophony of my surroundings.
this time,
bumped into a song that I listened to during high school.
"salty eyes" by the matches.
emo, punk-y, upbeat with a "I'm hanging by thread" lyrics.
ah, high school.
do you belong to a song--
does it drag you along by the tongue
at the top of your lungs?
are you drunk--have you been drinking?
do you, below the overpass, go
with a fifth in your fist
reminiscing the kiss of a love
that just didn't love
as much as you did?
please don't give up, dear walls
don't let the ceiling fall
when you belong to a song--salty eyes,
you belong.
and so on.
