the tourists win again
(davey’s house)
what i’m saying is:
the memory alone just won’t do
so i had to make this
to take this all away from you
a written token taken
to help remember you by
the tourists win again
with souvenirs all held up high
like your high ceiling
that eventually would have fade
forever from my mind
but now it’s as if i had stayed
like your sewing station
and props of the past all around
like our own language
of coughing that is the only sound
like your portrait paintings
with artist and subjects unknown
like your girlfriend for the moment
still unmet until shown
like your light that’s better left on
and food that’s been left out
like your rug made for us
without a shadow of a doubt
like your bath drawing
while i hold my piss and peace out here
like your stick of gum i still chew
that kept me up to steer
i’m taking them all home with me
smiling from ear to ear
with them held up high
as more a trophy than souvenir
