hey

you, hook crooked into the gums of my Will
jerk me up and out
of socks and shoes

I have a blueprint in my bag,
designs for a "Thank You"
much more illustrious than what
the meager supplies I currently possess could construct faithfully

so here it is:
a placeholder

a little wooden figure
stuck together with spit
by my fumbly hands

they'll steady one day
and the ode they'll sing...

just you wait!
you'lll see!
