only say hello

no one is coming to take your
precious little nucleus, okay?
we just wanna live another way

where is the proof?
where is the puddin’?
scenes of mayhem 
and haw and hee 
and look ho
look hi and lo
and behold see

the train tracks
on my back 
on my sleeve
is my life and
i sigh cuz why?
don’t say 
don’t go 
only say hello
