1.Starlings

How dare the premier
ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go.

So to the bunchy luncheons
with the second on my list of things to do.
At the top you're stopping by your place of work
and acting like I haven't dreamed of you and I
and marriage in an orange grove.
You are the only thing in any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish, and too old.

I sat you down and told you how the truest love
that's ever found is for oneself.
You pulled apart my theory with a weary
and disinterested sigh
So yes i guess i'm asking you to back a horse
that's good for glue and nothing else
But find a man that's truer than,
find a man that needs you more than I.

Sit with me a while and let me listen to you
talk about your dreams and obsessions
I'll be quite and confessional
The violence explode inside me
when i meet your eyes
Then I'm spinning and diving
like a cloud of starlings.

Darling is this love?
