Will you sing for me
Sing me a song where
The lyrics hold me tight
Will you write for me
Write me a poem that
Makes fun of my dreams

I wanted to write you into a love poem,
But all I can conjure
Is a picture of a girl crying off her mascara
On a stoop in the south of Chicago,
Zero. The age when life is simple.
Life in the moment, past and present, absent.
Time is a concept yet to be discovered,
Numbers possess no value.
Smiles and laughter fill the days,
one, two
start the day new
three, four
150 cals, no more
five, six
i dont need to be fixed
seven, eight
youre all too late
nine, ten
never wake again

One, two, three, four, five, / A child's delight so simple, / Green and growing, she.
