Clenching fists and chocolate fish
And firing questions from the hip
And cheeks are bright like happiness
So scratched into the outer plastic
It says "girl you are fantastic"
Kisses don't even need chapstick
I can love 'til my heart aches but
Why can't I share in what's sacred
You found god in my self-hatred
♪
We just look so laughable and tiny
Like we're spiders climbing
Underneath the cupboards
In between your clothes
The oven's on
Kids are calling out to ask about your day at work
Your husband says, "Today, I sold my car for a space hopper!"
Sliced in half by automatic doors
My guts are spilling on the floor
My darling meet in parentheses
Can't you tell that I am nothing more than
Commas hanging off your words
Buttons hanging off your shirt
I'm flying in reverse
I'm shimmering
I'm kites
I'm hummingbirds
