Bikes

by Brandon Barrett

What would make you feel okay?

I can hold you like a

Sick bird, but I might

Throw you in the river

Because the way you

Talk makes me feel like

I may not be around tomorrow

Like if I call you and leave a message

It will travel into space

And won’t stop until it hits

A comet or the moon

And then you won’t understand

What I’m talking about

When I say I left you a message

About the reasons I like you

And why you should stay

With a person that talks

To the moon.
