I know that your wounded heart is held by a suture,
\nand that thin little thing holds the key to your future.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Keep that suture-protector quite close to your heart.
\nThen sleep till you wake and must remove the dart.<\/p>\n

Your heart will bleed out, then your spirit will roam
\no’er the waves with their frothy white sea caps of foam.<\/p>\n

I’ll join you out there in your leaky old boat
\nWe’ll pledge: never again will we order the goat.<\/p>\n

We’ll get down on the floor and write a collab poem.
\nIf cops knock on our door we’ll pretend we’re not home.<\/p>\n

When outside displays naught but coldest dark weather.
\nYou’ll ride my a** hard with your whips and your leather.<\/p>\n

I’ll tickle your feet with a big peacock feather.
\n(Which reminds me: never say Peacock to a self-conscious man.
\nAvoid that at all costs if you possibly can!)<\/p>\n

We’ll promise to take us where we’ve never been,
\nwhile huddled together and sharing our skin.<\/p>\n

Never again will we fear being caught
\nin a sneaky little plot when our freedom is bought.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got to go now, but I will be back later.
\nI was just kidding; I’m a poetry satyr.<\/p>\n

No really, I’ll see you later alligator
\nafter I explode from my old life detonator.<\/p>\n

Why don’t we escape in that same elevator
\nwhere I was once trapped with a wild masturbater?<\/p>\n

Now just one floor to go before we reach the top!
\nLet’s hope before then it won’t come to a stop.<\/p>\n

Where did everyone go?\u00a0 Stress is taking its toll.
\nI hope they come back and make everything whole.<\/p>\n

Perhaps somewhere where there’s no carpet of snow
\nwe’ll find fields of poppies are able to grow.<\/p>\n

Who cackled: “poppies, poppies will get them to sleeping!”
\n“Drat!\u00a0 Poppy magic doesn’t work when they’re *bleep*ing.”<\/p>\n

The lesson is clear and it oft bears repeating:
\nDo not waste a moment while two hearts are beating.<\/p>\n

Beauty in red flows from seeds that we sow
\nSome fine day in the future will be time to say: Go!<\/p>\n

Then those who care for us will finally shout:
\nTHERE THEY GO NOW: THEY HAVE FOUND THEIR WAY OUT<\/em>!<\/p>\n
