the drone doesn’t know

same as it ever was
          truth is    it never was

                  jumped jim crow just to have it known
     that you wouldn’t let it go

       it’s best for both of us

                         you know why
      don’t look at my eyes
                              you might have to decide  
that brown isn’t as blue as black is white
                         that couldshe wouldshe shouldshe might   


this room felt a lot of tears
       in those  pre dawn years
                where phone calls and whiskey
                                 would have you believe that 
                                                four green lights make a green sea

     
that who you were talking to 
                         was       listening

                              man   we don’t understand anything

                     no   let me think for a minute


wai-wait 
                                                                      no
  
                                                                that’s just p l a i n bullshit

                                                            
 it’s not anything  
          that we want to understand
              it’s everything

evv err eee thing

are you listening

                            has the port 
                                     in the storm 
                            become 
                                       only   the kissing
                                                              the missing      the wishing    
listing    insisting

    that surreptitious be swallowed    
                            not watched or  written
