Notice Me
did you know
he came all the way from there
yeah, I know I saw that too
what he brought
I bet you can’t see it if you squint
look closer
beneath the sunshine
can you see his lavender thoughts
squeeze your eyes shut, I like it when they crinkle
the way your skin tingles
maybe then you can feel
maybe it’s just me
can you feel the oils rubbing together
have you touched his hand
no, not held it
but felt the warm glow
all the clementines and apricots
melting together, dripping down into the gutter
look closer
I saw the tire tracks
I pressed my fingers in
that cold raw mud
I hated it and it stained my fingers
but don’t we all just want to be noticed in the right way?
