i'm sorry sir/madam pedestrian
i didnt wanna risk getting caught
and having to work my way thru lying, explaining
the sign says no stopping
so perhaps you shoulda been reading
normally i wouldn't wince words
and you wouldn't be catching me doing
a dispicable act, such as littering
or loitering outside a school
sometimes humpty dumpty needs a good fall
before he gets pieced back together
this is me collecting almost all my pieces
and missing one, yeah the one you picked up
on your merry way
and it hits me like a dram,
urging sleep like urine pressed against the bladder
i am young, still foolish,
only occasionally sometimes
like tonight when i wanted my nose to touch the sky
without lying
without even trying
without begging for a way out,
and doing things right all the time
i hope it comes as comfort,
me knowing i was doing things wrong
in this moment so tiny
like the sliver of the moon
castrated by wind and fog
so sir, or madam, friendly english pedestrian
just know i'm afraid to face the truth sometimes
this late at night
