All I ever wanted to be was a woolly muffler on your naked neck 
 double-wrap me when it's cold 
 but you pulled a little tight just now 
 and I'm afraid I feel a choke hold coming on 
 all I ever thought we might come to was second dates 
 and flirting eyebrows 
 or maybe even psychic friends 
 and we could share a secret language 
 and almost definitely make more of it 
 than it was 
 but everyone around us would know 
 everyone watching would know 
 this is not a walk with walking wounded 
 here's the ball, here's the pole, now where's the tether 
 where's the tether? 
 hands can grow together 
 if you're not careful or grateful or whatever 
 and I never much cared much too much to begin with 
 I will not take your possibilities under my care 
 I will not see you on the bus 
 you want me to hold your hand 
 it's a courtship I can't stand 
 and here I thought you were crying because you were happy 
 but no, no, no 
 friends will turn against you 
 people disappoint you every time 
 so if you've got greatness in you would you do us all a favor 
 and keep it to yourself? 
 keep it 
 keep it to yourself 
 a labored expat fantasy: 
 quit your job and move away with me 
 oh what bliss it would be 
 to pretend we never met 
 I'm elated now
