Go Slowly from Blue Heron by Jodi

does this party stress you out?
can’t stand talking about yourself
what have i been up to? well,
i can’t recall
the other day i saw your picture on the wall
but things are going well
i’ve just been keeping to myself
i’ll try to get it back to you in the fall
got some words to write
just working thru it all

so
can we go slowly
i got lost behind the veil
finding other hills to scale

yeah everybody moves
off the known to find a new workaround
but everyone’s a salesman when you’re down
so i keep it to myself
trace the county on the Belt
seventeen miles through the snow
counting up
an apple core tucked into your cuff

then you’re holed up in the basement
crying to the beat

so
can we go slowly
i got lost along the way
what was i supposed to say?
can we go slowly
doubled over and unglued
what was i supposed to do?
