First thing you taught me
Was to keep digging inside
At my intentions
Keep asking why why why
Second thing you taught me
Was to be sincere
Not like all these smart alec sarcastics
Drowning in fear
You reminded me -
This is water! And
It feels good to swim!
After you hooked me and you reeled me up
And threw me out again
Talked like professors
You talked like policemen and whores
You became so many people
I felt like I had known them before
The third thing you taught me
Is that when I’m waiting in line
At the supermarket checkout
That my time is not worth more than your time
Your head like a lightning rod
Your heart a cocoon
We certainly won’t have another like you
Anytime soon.
