painted over
hiram larew
I’m the forget-birthdays type
The smudge that finds glasses
And what’s between oh and please
I’m the things paws dig up
Yes and spoony froth
I’m knocked over hollyhocks
Or that gaspy dunk
Or whatever gets painted over
So when I see love arm in arm
Walk by in the street below
I can’t help but
Worry crosswalks
Or curse turning corners
Or scold my eyes
For what they always do
At flirty windows
