Alphabet city

from Pareidolia by Bob Gaulke

/

lyrics

U and I thirteen letters apart
Trying to move stuck on a wall

Love from a distance framing desire
Good on paper; perfect in mind

Never far from my thoughts 
Filling the room with impulses
Passing notes, spit wads
I remain unfocused

I dream about you writing in circles 
Needing help with your cursive

Twenty-six letters in a row 
Filling in blanks, making “O”’s

Desires conflicted against
The shape of your lips

You and I bored out of our minds
Stuck with groupwork we don’t like

Look at you shoot me a smile
Our secret lives have just arrived

Alphabet city’s raining paper and pens
The whole story gets crumpled again
Weather changes loneliness surges
My purple spaceship comes to save you
