THE CALENDER HUNG ITSELF

'DOES HE KISS YOUR EYELIDS IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU START TO RAISE YOUR HEAD? AND DOES HE SING TO YOU INCESSANTLY FROM THE SPACE BETWEEN YOUR BED AND WALL? DOES HE WALK AROUND ALL DAY AT SCHOOL WITH HIS FEET INSIDE YOUR SHOES? LOOKING DOWN EVERY FEW STEPS TO PRETEND HE WALKS WITH YOU. OH, DOES HE KNOW THAT PLACE BELOW YOUR NECK THAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TO BE TOUCHES, AND DOES HE CRY THROUGH BROKEN SENTENCES THAT I LOVE YOU FAR TOO MUCH? DOES HE LAY AWAKE LISTENING TO YOUR BREATH? WORRIED YOU SMOKE TOO MANY CIGARETTES.'
