Downstream - Paper Bird

Downstream - Paper Bird
Written by：Anna Kohlweis
You hugged me with hands curled up in fists
And weapon in your front pocket squeezing my tits
And we kissed with teeth touching that's how it was
And every breath exchanged another loss
I bought a book on life in the sea
And I read it out aloud and picked out
The importance for me
Which was everything poisonous everything dangerous
Everything with teeth and claws and claws
Do you think you are
Thinking about telling me what to think
Do you think you are
Pouring your opinions in my drink
I ride the bike down to the river side
Spit in the water watch you
Float slowly downstream
After the A B C and the 1 2 3
Your words still sound so old
While my finger's in my throat
Trying to tickle out the cold
There's a mark on my hips
Where ten four filthy fingertips
To pave the way for a filthy pair of lips
I bought a book about life in the woods
And I read it out aloud
And I underlined the passages that would
Tell me how to survive among predators as a snake
And how to never go to sleep how to always
Stay awake
Do you think you are thinking about telling me what to think
Do you think you are pouring your opinions
In my drink
I ride the bike down to the river side I
Spit in the water and watch you float slowly downstream
Down down down down down down down down down down
Down down down down down down down down down down
Down down down down down down down down down down
Down down down down down down down down down down
Down down down down down down down down stream
