Likely Story
Karina Gill
East 41st
doctor's orders in a mirrored lobby
I just make it worse
now your shaving cut is staining your collar
Before the light gets to nine
you know you've got to decide
between the way, truth and light
I'll hold you to it after tonight
Can we do it again?
I'll take your hands and you bow your head
Then we'll start from the top
and recite the whole likely story
You know that picture you took?
I wish we were half as tough as we look
Eyes hungry and wild
Just an effect of preaching to the choir
Would you take me across town
where the river looks velvet in the winter?
It's too cold for a sound
so you ignore me when I start to whisper
Can we do it again?
I'll take your hands and you bow your head
Then we'll start from the top
and recite the whole likely story
