Every speck of dust,
Every mosquito that buzzes lazy circles
Every turning leaf and
All the turning fruit,
Every call I miss on purpose,
Every excuse I make and never use,
Every bridge I burn just to
Live beneath the rubble,
Everything is finishing.
I'm twenty-three years old and
I hear music in my head
Every second of the day.
As I lay down to sleep, I hear
Symphonies, and when I dream:
But to breathe life into dreams,
You need nimble fingers, don't you;
Mine are short and slow and I
Crack my knuckles too much;
There is a gap between
What I feel I can do and
What I can do and I can't cross it,
I can't even see the other side.
And when they asked me
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I said,
"Someone else."
