My words tangle,

Forever causing mischief

The threads I string together

Are braiding themselves

Would you like to jump rope?

Except the rules have changed

We are 500 feet up

And standing on a 3-inch wide pedestal

No one wins this game

Turn the page,

My words have fallen,

Laying at your feet in heaps

Why aren't you listening

Why Won't you Listen?

Can't you see this is important?

Make me scream and shout

But you don't hear me

Next chapter,

All I am is silence

Surrounded by crumpled sheets of paper

I gave up,

You will never see my words

I will fade away.

Fuck you.

and goodbye.

Except it isn't a play with words at all. it's about as literal as it gets.
