Liminal Manners


You got the callback
You lick the honey drip from the lid
It’s catch and release love
The mud-stained trail on the newlywed

Maybe someday you’ll be happy
Or not
But may you at least know exactly
What you want

Cause I can’t wait forever
Let alone the rest of my life
In the dire hope you’ll remember
What I said about jars and fireflies

Liminal manners
Little squares of tissue on razor cuts
It’s agglutination, that’s bid
A whirl of refuse through a vacant lot

Maybe someday you’ll be happy
Probably not
Still on your way to Cincinnati
Catching dust

But I can’t wait forever
Let alone the rest of my life
As you try to make a lantern
From all the glimmers in your night

Let alone
Let alone the rest of my life
Let alone
Please, let alone the rest of my life!

Maybe someday you’ll be happy
Or not
I’d leave you if I knew exactly
What I want

Still, I can’t wait forever
All I have is the rest of my life
As you try to make a lantern
From all the glimmers in your night

No, I can’t wait forever
Let alone the rest of my life
In the dire hope you’ll remember
What I said about jars and fireflies
