this is my spacesuit


baby this is my spacesuit    
i atomize and vibrate until i am on both sides of the room at the same time    
and for a while these are the only stars we see    
i want to come to you    
the only thing that makes sense to me    
but it might pull me apart    
this the only place i can breathe    
this vast and heavy thing    
new cash is just an excuse    
so fall asleep, it's okay    


there's a wasp on the window    
asking "why must you go"    

he stays for a while and starts to make sense    
of course, this is when he leaves    
disappears without a trace    
that's the way that goes    
my fault    

i was in the bay when zay dropped    
i was in the sea when baby died    
i could've left a while ago but i didn't    
i was finding new cash getting a new spacesuit    
and maybe i should've but i didn't    
I made myself unavailable instead    
(like I always do)    

sorry, I'm vibrating    
I'm barely here    
the window is warm    
my glasses are blue and the money is blue, the school, the mazda,    
my fault, I am just a wasp    
in a spacesuit    
atomizing
