Colfax

we had a map of the piano

I think Lucas took it with him

to Seattle

he and John took a quarter each

Aaron took the smallest sliver

Kyle ate his portion

Machu's in her bones

Michael has pinned it to his heart

and I have it tattooed on my brain

and we all took acid

remember when we were young (er)

and everyone was single

and there was no asking about whereabouts

i met you guys in the Colfax hills

tiny car

tiny radio

and we swallowed the bread whole

and went dreaming in the dark

i had my back flat on the bridge

and the water was under me

you three went into the pocket

and laughed about prophecies

and i remember being really ok with being so small

and then in the backseat,

it finally hit me

that our dear friend Kyle was beautiful

and a genius

and i wanted nothing more than for him to be near

but he was off ranting about the government somewhere

so instead, we all held worship

while listening to his music

and ha remember

my lungs were green

i could feel them

that night

and the entire next day

gender lines didn't exist

the smile of his was the equivalent of hers

and my face hid in the books

at my mother's house

when i felt like it
