Dress Sharply

I have nothing new to tell you
Since the last time that I wrote
But I know with certainty that
Your hands will get my notes

I don't need mirrors in the hallway
To remind me how I'm feeling today
I don't want any lights in my house
Turn them off put them down throw them out

I read, I read
A yellow shirt
And a blue jacket

I learned for the first time today
A red flag means that I'll be ok
You get up when I go to sleep but
That's just me and geography

I swear you stole my sleep for
At least four whole goddamn weeks and
I swear when next we meet, well,
I will not let you sleep

I read, I read
A yellow shirt
And a blue jacket

Dressed so sharply
You know I will read
Every word that you send me
