hey, glue!
hold me together now
with your sticky tacky many-fingered grip
my limbs in limbo land
my bones
will not cooperate
and I cross my fingers
daily
hoping that my heart won't just slide down and out and
leave the scene
and I cross my fingers that
my fingers will still keep crossing
I cross
my toes
well that's for exercise
but I'm serious
glue
I need to stay together and I
can't do it without you
arms
legs
and head
stuck on and holding
and just hoping they can stay there long enough
to be useful
go back
