Pick a sentence
between one and ten
You picked the same as the last
I can sing
Every word you say
I pushed a word in front of another
Adjusted the predicate to your advantage
I’ve written more words
Hidden under
Parallel lines
Than I have ones that are free.
I can sing
But my dancing is miserable
So the night
Will not go away*
(Pause No. 1)
*My eyes close the tightest
when this life is the brightest.
Philip V. Coombs 3-4am
What a beautiful and intimate poem. “I can sing every word you say” is, I think my favourite among the lines.
Thank you very much
