Any More?

Tomorrow will you crash my afternoon?

Or will my heart have stopped too soon,
pressed firmly against my fingertips.

I think from now on we just won't have lips.
And the flowers won't have petals,

their stems made out of precious metals.
I think from now on you won't have feet,

and instead I'll spit into the street.
I'd spit right now just to hear you protest,

but I know too well we won't be pressed
for time, clothes, who knows.

From now on I just won't have a nose.
My thoughts may never be heard,

not by the feather, not by the bird.
I spent the night tickling you on the floor.

But your flag isn't mine to wave, anymore.
