we could shape the words
however we wanted

(we were young
and running off
heart to mouth)

but for all intents & purposes
it was goodbye

it's a mixed bag of depressing
to think of throwing away entire lives
in boxes
and bits
of brokendown furniture

not to confuse purpose
with possessions
it's just that
memories have a way
of soaking through skin

(animate
and inanimate
alike)

we're all four walls
with stories to tell

this is the sorrow
and separation
the last sleepless night
in a hollowed out home

we now conclude our broadcast lives
Full Title: Florida is making plans to sink

saw the full title and immediately thought of Sink, Florida, Sink and was hooked from that point on.

it's just that
memories have a way
of soaking through skin
