bright colors 
plastic covered plastic 
and thoughts simple and tangled 
in Spanish 
 
you were it then
 
my bargain of fluorescent lights
tiny tan fingers
and daddy's girl dreams
 
but daddy's aren't for speaking to with weight
because they talk into small inconveniences 
 
It's all just air now
but this head is too full
with everything but words from you
 
you're just places and things I feel
sometimes a lot and then
not at all
