RENT A MARBLE PAPER WEIGHT

I tried to make it to the show,
the dude down the street got me all caught up,
he wanted what I had left last month, 
and I needed what he passed over every stirring moment,
today we watched the girl upstairs rearrange her furniture,
over and over again......

She built the window to be a wall,
so the mail always arrived late,
her girlfriend came over to linger crowding every afternoon,
here she is now,
shot swift she passes a caravan of sedans,
then down shifts and whips her Mazda thru to the alley.....

Our brothers ran an ad on Craig's list,
offering to purchase notes of wisdom that might glisten shiny when attached to spokes,
they rode their bikes through the camp sites of strangers,
post-it notes flew through falling with the leaves,
their wisdom was ignited to roast marsh-mellows ....

Her ideas flaunted the fact that she never grew too soon,
I meet her in the future where basements cage towers,
my feelings were singed,
but she never would justify such a trip....
