pick up the mail now
at any given time
in every letter you can
read between the lines
love letters on the page
written in lemon juice
hold the page up to the light bulb
you can read them too
to inscribe in invisible ink
all your lovelorn battle codes
the secret blips and the covert noise
with which your heart unfolds
uniforms in bunkers deep
with headphones all askew
the quiet hum of cryptographs
hard at work in the other room
with your young detective's handbook
i though you were the one
now i see that after all
you were just having fun
now i'm dusting for your prints again
just see if you're there

presuppose, start again
start from the end
with a false start
it's difficult to mend
with the go-between
come around, see what i mean
and the point escapes all
attempts again
when it breaks out
when you figure it all out
and you don't have the time
to write it down
far too cynical
of everything, going on
and you know now
it's got to end

morning, opening up
and it's forming
all across my eyes and it is pouring
against my window pane
wake up, given just another hour
make up, a simple wish
and i fill my cup
wipe the sleep from my eyes
i know, something's not going right-o
you don't have to see me tonight-o
i can understand it, if you don't want
to be near me
noon time, hands twisted up
and i combine
every event of a sublime
dreamy yesterday
bed time, think of you only
it's a fine line
between longing and hoping
it's a full time
job i work for free
