Julia

Emm Gryner

Tattooed and wide-eyed
Eastern standard time
Car smoke and people
Filling in outside

Sent Sadie to the love police
Below the forty-fifth
'One more date' the writer wrote
Go on and live with it

Julia, leave the dark alone
Every day is better than the last
Julia, leave the dark alone
Speak your mind, 'cause this life's going fast

Couldn't admit wanting
As submarines set sail
Hang on to the better thoughts and
Dodge the falling hail

Disappear like subway trains
Dinner and a show
I send this off into thin air and
One day you might know
