don't wear a black shirt
on a sunny day on the way to a museum
of all the things you lost or never had
and all the feelings you feel when you see them

don't finish the beer if you want to survive
when the pause in the step of an aging chap
causes a murmur in the crowd
wondering what all the smiling is about

don't trust yourself to find yourself
when the bedmates from your past ignore the request of no touching
because the moment is always watching
waiting for you to run away with me
