The wind brushes you backwards

after 20 years you had hoped it would

Is it too late now or is it only getting dark out?

You say her name like one would (Evan!)

Read the Bible each night before drifting off to sleep--

To spring you heavenward

But what is it about her

that makes all your synapses go crazy inside your brain?

What is it that makes you complain to me?

You should be warned, flowers will change

And girls befriend snakes when they want their way

You should be told of Adam and Eve,

A girl will deceive if you give her and apple

Keep in mind like heavy drinks

She's hard to keep down

Will you regret saying it too much to her tonight?

When you wake up in shame, sweat beating off of your face,

Your stomach out of place, feel the cold tiles of the bathroom floor...

Could you want it anymore?

Could you want it anymore?

Could you want it anymore?

Could you want it anymore?

Could you want her anymore....?
