Treading Water Testo

movies like zoos
try another me and i will try another you
or put my arms around you
like i think you want me to
but tell me what you’re thinking
i so often misconstrue
treading water treading white wine
seeing borders seeing straight lines
i get these feelings that i don’t
have much time
always rushing always late
movies like zoos
i talk to missionaries when they’re
standing at my door
they tell me what i should be reading
i still can’t see what for
we both stand there politely trying
to change each other’s core
when other angels float by
they seem likely to fall from the sky
what i want is difficult i must try
