'why is the world so creepy?' she asked
after a car full of haircuts drove past
a backseat full of 'the boys'

i told her that it isn't
that it's exquisite
but like love
it has its barbarous threats

still in spite of the cads
and the stoop-shouldered teens
i know i'm losing you
and i know what that means, yea

i told her that it isn't
that it's real exquisite
but like love
it can have it's stubbed-toe effects

and just like after
she heard the word 'iridescent'
and everything was iridescent for awhile

it wasn't long
before she exhalted out of nowhere
'isn't this exquisite?'

once you've said 'mmm' in unison
and 'oh' in double surprise
and shared relief with a mutual 'phew'
and a look in each others eyes

i tell her that is isn't
insisted that it isn't
because like love
it has too-cunning effects

i told her that it isn't
that it's just exquisite
because like love
it has its barbarous threats

'why is the world so creepy?' she asked
after a car full of haircuts drove past
a backseat full of the boys

breaking glass
throwing off glass
