Hasn't been reported yet
that the roofs are the color
the sky wants to be
tea cups are steaming
the excess is picked up
a girl with sunglasses looks on
and you think she wants you
how strenuous it all is
how often do we relax
against an obvious need
when the world is pickled
and there's only memory left
so you book a kite for an hour
to see what that looks like
to know how far things fade
fore and aft the higher you get
a qingting crashes out of the noon
flying down out of tomorrow
and back to the color blue
which didn't always take
such keen appreciation
or need to believe in you.
