In A Sweater Poorly Knit - MeWithoutYou

In A Sweater Poorly Knit - MeWithoutYou
In a sweater poorly knit and an unsuspecting smile
Little moses drifts downstream in the nile
A fumbling reply
An awkward rigid laugh
And I'm carried helpless by my floating
Basket raft your flavor in my mind
Back and forth between sweeter than any wine as bitter as mustard greens
And it's light and dark as honeydew
And pumpernickel bread the trap
I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
Go plow some other field
Try and forget my name we'll see what harvest yields
And supposing i'd do the same I planted rows of peas
By the first week of july they should have come up to my knees
But they were maybe ankle high take the fingers from your flute
And weave your colored yarns
And boil down your fruit to preserves in mason jars
And the books are overdue
And the goats are underfed the trap
I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
You're a door without a key
A field without a fence you made a holy fool of me
And I've thanked you ever since
If she comes circling back
We'll end where we'd begun like two pennies on the train track
The train crushed into one
But if I'm a crown without a king
If I'm a broken open seed if I come without a thing
Then I come with all I need no boat out in the blue
No place to rest your head
The trap I set for you seems
To have caught my leg instead
I do not exist
I do not exist
I do not exist
I do not exist
I do not exist
I do not exist
I do not exist
I do not exist
I do not exist
I do not exist only you exist
I do not exist
