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
  i'm elated now
  i'm elated now
  i'm elated now
