The Wanderer
Kid A
"fairy tale"
hope:
you feel better,
about yourself
your body is heavy.
this dress won't
take you very far
tired of excuses
for why you're late
dry-peach smell
there's no way out of here
placentas are no place
to start from
I'll do surgery
and dissolve in the sea
please don't go
let's talk about
this, I'll smile
and pretend
I just want
to bend your flesh
until it makes love
let's make plans
we'll hold hands
and buy a little girl
we'll make things
right, and sign papers
so you won't take
half of me
already missing
and we'll still
be friends,
for [her] sake
for christ's sake
you'll go to school
and learn to hate
and play in the dark
I'm so tired, and
this belly is like a carnival
moving in circus flips
the punch and swell
softly against my face
tender, warm, bursting flesh!
says... that,
love has been told
and you are beautiful
because you are real
and you won't
let them take it away
