I am restless
And breathless
What will you have me do?
What can I say to stay there just for a minute?
Will I convince you if I sing in an unheard tongue?
What if I write in a writeless alphabet?
What if I prepare a preparedless meal?
What if I walk on my hands for the rest of my life?
What if I cry tears of a river?
What if I suddenly develop wings and fly?
What if I chew all the weeds on your farm with my teeth?
What if,
What if I take a picture with my eyes and gauge them out
Leaving your picture on the lenses?
What am I to do to have that clasp?
Just try and read my mind
Try harder to see my heart
Try harder to hold me in your thoughts
Just try and have me impose on you just for a little while
Or think to tell me what to do to gain that,
That moment in your arms
And I will gladly do it as long as I’ll live to have my reward.

I’m suspecting that there is merely a miscommunication somewhere.
