birds do what you want

the buildings were big grey elbows sticking out of the mud their edges worn down to stumps of concrete i felt in love i saw a few birds nesting in the rubble of a fallen block im sure no ones around to mind so neither do i do what you want birds do what you want . the guilt chewed in through steel wool so i went for a walk outside all of the angular buildings threaten to tear the sky i watched a few birds eating chicken carcass off the bone i think of how theyd be happy and healthy if we all just left them alone birds ill leave you alone . the tear opened up and i fell out into the branches of the below trees i looked across to the flat block the birds looked back at me theres no one around to mind so neither do i do what you want birds . im sure no ones around to mind so neither do i do what you want birds do what you want .

sat alone in your family home looking at pictures of people i dont technically know though ive heard them described within an inch of their lives interchangeable faces and the same pair of eyes i wish you knew what you wanted and i wish that for me too im not sure when ill be back up here im not sure of many things . sitting in staying out of the cold forming opinions of people i dont technically know but i think that we learn from the things that we say what it means for our bodies to be looked at this way i think we know who we are now better than some people do sometimes the things i cant admit to myself slip out when im with you . oooo . i don’t wanna know scared that it might change my mind but i guess it could that would still be fine . i promise ill keep the kitchen clean and wash my dishes if you promise you wont move out next year i used to dream wed all grow old in belfast marry each other and live in houses so close by so we dont need cars so we dont need cars so we dont need . you would be smiling cause everythings fine id be excited to just be outside if im ever dead while youre still alive would you still think of me all of the time . our accents wont soften cause we stayed at home id never have missed out on watching you grow if i ever asked you if you still love me you would never say ‘ i dont know ‘ so we dont need cars
