andy andy, he's away 
again.
and the knees
in my waiting jeans
are wearing thin.


i'm in the dryer,
after the washer;
tumbling over and over and over:


(i do it cos i like to be clean.)
(and i like to be seen)
(and talked to)

i try to
glide through
unsuspecting rules. but
i keep getting caught.
by sticks in the mud.

(and really, who am i
to try
to loft out of the quicksand anyway.)

i think
i would
just like
to hear
you say
my name
one more
time.
(while my brain is falling in and out of rhyme.)
