Your attention’s like a prize

It’s hard to hold like a terrier

Or a handful of oil

Briefly I have it. Briefly I hold it

And I hear from you some random thing

You thought of

Heaven’s an awful price

Your precious ear gets me so severe

The photos help

But just sometimes. They’re just not the time

I filled your mouth with ice cream and

You said it wasn’t that good

I love when I’m with you

And you crumble

The way you implode

All of you scatters then

Crittering from this to that

And back again

I take so much pleasure in that

You’re so big but gentle as a mouse

Whenever I’m in your space

And I can’t imagine yet

Whether I would make you pet

I take so much pleasure in that

I take so much pleasure in that

I take so much —
